Gulf Shores : Retired Baldwin County DA takes job as Gulf Shores city attorney

MOBILE, Ala. - Former Baldwin County District Attorney David Whetstone is back in public office after a brief foray into retirement.

The Gulf Shores city council voted unanimously this week to retain the national law firm Adams & Reese, where Whetstone is employed, the Press-Register reported in an online story Tuesday.

Whetstone retired from his district attorney post in March and his new position as the city attorney for Gulf Shores became effective immediately after the council's vote on Monday.

The firm has an office in Mobile and is planning another one in Foley.

State Sen. Bradley Byrne, R-Fairhope, is also employed at the firm.

Whetstone spent 22 years as a county prosecutor and handled the case against former Gulf Shores Mayor Steve Russo, who resigned in January amid allegations of public corruption and drug possession.
