Eric Mays removed from position illegally; Former Council president sentenced six months probation

On Tuesday, April 25, Flint Councilman Eric Mays was sentenced six months probation, one year after the meeting where he was removed as City Council President.

Mays will spend six months on probation but no time in jail for disorderly conduct, according to the Genesee District Judge Vikki Bayeh-Haley.

The councilman has argued that his removal from the April 25, 2022, meeting was unjustified and that he was treated differently than other council members have been when he was ordered to leave by President Allie Herkenroder.

Herkenroder, who had warned Mays for using profanity earlier in the same meeting, ordered the councilman to leave because she said he left his council seat and attempted to return without permission.

Mays' attorney, Ken Scott, agreed with Mays.

"The video of the meeting clearly indicated that he asked for permission to be excused and it was granted," Scott said.

Harkenroder had told the court that she did not give Mays permission to leave.
