Former City Council Financial Controller Dwain Davis is in a critical condition
tonight – after experiencing a stroke this morning. Reports say it happened
this morning after Davis appeared in the Magistrate’s court. He appeared
along with Mayor Zenaida Moya to answer to the 24 criminal charges that they
were assessed with on the first October.
Nothing substantial was heard; the case was adjourned until January 12 and
Davis left the court. Reports are that when he got into his vehicle he got a
stroke. He was rushed to the KHMH where a team of specialists worked on him
but without much success. According to our sources, he experienced bleeding
in his brainstem and his prognosis is grim. The KHMH would only say that he
is in critical condition at the intensive care unit.
We note that apart from facing criminal charges, Davis was fired from City
Hall about two weeks ago. His termination was the result of a council resolution.
It was a resolution that did not have the support of Mayor Zenaida Moya. The
decision was based on Davis’s admission to the council that he had failed
to follow regulations about the disbursement of cash payments over fifty dollars.
But right now, all that matters very little as Davis is fighting for his life
in the KHMH intensive care unit. We’ll have an update tomorrow.
