ALBANY - District Attorney P. David Soares Tuesday announced that Nathaniel Davis, 38, of Albany, pled guilty to one count of Grand Larceny in the Second degree, a felony, in front of the Honorable Dan Lamont. Under the terms of the plea bargain, Davis faces between 2 1/3 to seven and three to nine years in prison when sentenced in May.

Davis admitted Tuesday that he stole more than $50,000 from the W. Haywood Burns Environmental Education Center, a not-for profit organization, and fiduciary of the Arbor Hill Environmental Justice Corp., a volunteer organization.

Beginning in 2006, Davis, the former executive director of WHBEEC, stole more than $50,000 from the operating accounts of the WHBEEC and AHEJ by cashing checks made payable to him, and writing on the memo lines that the checks were for back pay, petty cash, or network reimbursement. Since 2005, Davis also stole more than $3,000 by making unauthorized credit card purchases.

Davis made purchases at EB Games, FYE, paid his cable bill, car insurance, and personal cell phone bill. DAVIS also paid for a weekend getaway with his wife to Niagara Falls using the not-for-profit’s credit card.
