2022-10-13 |
[NYPOST] The shredded Washington DC deputy mayor who was caught on camera allegedly grabbing a man by the throat in a gym parking lot earlier this month has resigned, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Wednesday. Chris Geldart, the former DC Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice, had been on administrative leave after video footage circulated of him angrily confronting a trainer at the gym on Oct. 1. He was charged with assault and battery in the incident. At a presser on Wednesday, Bowser said she was "saddened to say" that she had accepted Geldart’s resignation. "I am proud of the work we’ve done together over the last eight years and I am immensely grateful to Chris for his service to the city," Bowser told news hounds. "Chris has been a very capable and effective public servant and I’ve gotten to know him over the years in several roles." Geldart, 53, was appointed to his position by Bowser in January 2021, according to WUSA. |
