Davis pled guilty to charges of misused funds and filing false reports with the Board of Elections last November, each of which could have maximum penalties of $1,000 fines and one year in prison. Instead, he will perform 200 hours of community service, as suggested by the Erie County Probation Department, and is prohibited from holding any job that involves the handling of money, as imposed by Judge Amodeo.
This Buffalo News story further details the litany of Davis' misdeeds in reference to poor behavior that includes unpaid income tax and suspension of his license due to lapsed auto insurance. In addition, Davis has falsely claimed to have a college degree from Trinity College.
An "Outrages an Insights" column in The Buffalo News by Jim Heaney has at Davis further, calling the light sentencing "par for the course." And you may remember Davis making a Facebook plea for himself that was posted here on BRO in April of 2009.
Good, hope they make him scrub the streets during the Powder Keg festival...with a tooth brush
