Dayton King was forced to resign as mayor of Gloversville in January 2019 after being arrested for stealing postage and falsifying records.
Well, it turns out King was forced to resign as mayor on January 9th, 2019, after he was arrested. What was he arrested for, you ask? Well, he got caught sneaking into government property after hours and stealing postage from the city for personal use, and then falsified records to cover his tracks. It was stamps? Yep. It was stamps that took him out. Well, electronic stamps, probably. But yeah. He was charged with a felony, but in a plea deal, he was allowed just to step down as mayor and pay back the $473 he stole in stamps.
