Eric Mays himself was no stranger to the inside of a courtroom, either as a plaintiff or a defendant during his decade on the Flint city council.

A family legal dispute continues to delay the funeral for controversial Flint city councilman Eric Mays. Thursday’s court hearing didn’t even address the main issue.

Mays died of natural causes Saturday. He was a plaintiff in several state and federal lawsuits against the city of Flint.

Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley, often a target of Mays’ criticism, called his death ”a tremendous loss.”

The city council voted five to three to suspend Councilman Eric Mays for 90 days, shortly after he was escorted out of city hall by three Flint police officers.

The suit was brought by two city council members who said the mayor's advisory board should not have met privately to consider which projects should get federal funds.

Councilman Eric Mays was convicted of "disorderly conduct" for his actions during an April 2022 city council meeting.

Eric Mays is scheduled to be sentenced next month. He faces up to 90 days in jail and up to a $500 fine.
