Albany City Attorney Nathan Davis is suspended three days without pay

The Albany City Commission voted today to suspend City Attorney Nathan Davis for three days without pay.

Davis is being suspended for having a handgun and a large knife in his desk on city property.  In a letter to the Albany City Commission dated April 5th, City Manager Al Lott stated that a gun and a large knife suitable for combat had been found in Davis' desk.

Davis removed the weapons before Lott’s letter was sent, but Davis admitted that he did bring the weapons to work, stating that he didn't know whether or not it was illegal.  There is currently nothing listed in the city's personnel manual about proper procedure for this type situation.  City commissioners say they're updating that manual and will give this issue some consideration.

 

Davis' suspension begins tomorrow.
