CAMBRIDGE, Md.- Cambridge Mayor Andrew Bradshaw is under investigation.
In a statement, City Commission President Lajan Cephas confirmed the Maryland State Police and state prosecutor conducted a search and seizure warrant at the mayor’s City Hall office on Wednesday.
Cephas continued “The city intends to cooperate fully with the investigation.”
City Manager Patrick Comiskey says the investigation centers around the mayor and not the city itself.
City officials say the mayor is not on leave, and remains an employee of the city.
On Thursday afternoon, the mayor’s vehicle was not seen at either city hall or his Glenburn Avenue home.
Neighbors on his street say they saw authorities conducting a search of his home early Wednesday morning.
Brandie Robinson, who lives a few doors down, said, “All of a sudden all of these cars came up, unmarked vehicles, they had regular personal tags.”
Robinson continued, “All of a sudden, everybody got out with bulletproof vests, they had the ramming bar, they had the riot shields that they use. They had them and they were all going to the mayor’s house.”
The reason for the investigation remains unclear. No charges have been filed at this time.
