Brentwood Mayor Evicted From Home Weeks Before Election

5:59 PM, Apr 13, 2011

BRENTWOOD, Md. (WUSA) -- The controversial Mayor of Brentwood was evicted from her home in the small Prince George's County municipality Wednesday.

Xzavier Montgomery-Wright had fallen behind nearly $7,500 on rent, according to eviction documents. She declined to talk about the situation, or her ongoing run for re-election, as workers moved possessions from the house where she had been living on 79th Place in Brentwood.

In March, Montgomery-Wright was censured by Brentwood's town council for the unauthorized use of a town debit card to pay cell phone bills and purchase a plane ticket. A follow up audit is ongoing. No charges have been filed.

Montgomery-Wright is a candidate for re-election. She takes credit for re-establishing the town's police department.
