District Heights Mayor Eddie Martin has been convicted of misconduct while in office.
Martin was found guilty of using city letterhead to approve the purchase of 50,000 thousand dollars worth of fireworks for the city. When in reality the items actually went to one of his friends. The purchase was for Class B and C fireworks which are only available for purchase by municipalities or anyone with a federal explosive license.
Martin is due to learn his punishment on December 10th.
