Summary
Jayden Williams failed to turn over city property by a noon Monday deadline as Stockbridge investigates alleged misuse of the mayor’s city credit card.
At 22, Williams was elected earlier this year as Stockbridge’s youngest mayor, and Channel 2 reported he was not seen entering or leaving city hall before the deadline.
Last week, the city council ordered an independent investigation into his spending, while saying the move was administrative and did not amount to a finding of misconduct.
Williams’ spokesperson said he would not comment Monday, but an Instagram statement said he had taken legal action to ensure a fair process and welcomed an independent investigation.
City officials have not said what happens after the missed deadline, confirming only that other measures are in place as the probe continues.
