"A probe into Davis' spending in 2024 found that Davis had allocated over $1 million to Spingola's nonprofit, Collective Impact, and that Davis failed to disclose that she shared a home and a vehicle with Spingola, creating a conflict of interest."
"Prosecutor Erin Loback suggested that Spingola's next lawyer will be court-appointed, as the public defender's office confirmed it will not be representing him."
"During a prior appearance in court last month, Knox told reporters that Spingola is intending to plead not guilty to four felony charges of aiding and abetting Davis in misspending funds."
Sheryl Davis and James Spingola appeared in court regarding allegations of misusing public funds intended for nonprofits. Spingola lacked permanent legal representation, prompting a delay in his arraignment. A temporary attorney, Jeremy Blank, represented him for the day. Investigations revealed Davis allocated over $1 million to Spingola's nonprofit, Collective Impact, while failing to disclose a conflict of interest. Spingola intends to plead not guilty to felony charges related to aiding Davis in misappropriating funds. The public defender's office will not represent him, and a court-appointed lawyer is expected.
