Anthony W. McCarthy, a top aide and spokesman in Mayor Sheila Dixon's administration, is being investigated by Baltimore County police for "inappropriate behavior" and was placed on indefinite leave from his position, the mayor's office confirmed yesterday.
A Baltimore County police spokesman said the department received a complaint about McCarthy's behavior last week, but the spokesman declined to make the report public or offer details about the complaint.

In addition to his work at City Hall, McCarthy served as a pastor at the interdenominational Unity Fellowship Church in Mount Vernon and occasionally would wear his collar to city events.
His biography was removed from the church's Internet site, and officials at the church could not be reached yesterday.
