The mayor of Stockton, California, was charged Thursday with providing alcohol to minors last summer — an act authorities said came during a strip poker game at a camp for underprivileged children run by the mayor.
Mayor Anthony Silva, 42, was charged with eavesdropping, contributing to the delinquency or a minor, providing alcohol to a minor and cruelty to a child by endangering health.
Allen Sawyer, an attorney for Silva, told the AP his client will be allowed to return to the summer camp.
Sawyer said, “His biggest concern right now is not to disrupt the at-risk youth up at the camp.”
The charges came a week after a gun "stolen from Silva’s home during a burglary" was linked to the killing of 13-year-old Rayshawn Harris in Stockton early last year. The mayor is accused of not reporting the gun as missing until a month after the boy was killed.
Silva is seeking a second term in November.
