A former Davenport alderman accused of threatening his neighbor, is trying to get the charges dropped.
A hearing is set for Thursday for Keith Meyer. The 71-year-old is charged with assault while displaying a weapon.
Police said it happened while Meyer was building a speed bump in the driveway he shares with his neighbor back in November. They said Meyer threatened the neighbor with a gun when the person tried to take a picture of the speed bump.
Meyer served as Davenport's third ward alderman for several terms. He lost his re-election bid in 2007.
