Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick,is going back to jail. For 14 parole violations, he will spend the weekend in prison, a state corrections spokesman said Friday.
Kilpatrick agreed to waive the formal parole violation process and instead serve three days at a Detroit lockup as punishment.
Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said in a statement…
“Kilpatrick is to report to the Detroit Reentry Center Friday afternoon and will be released from custody early Monday.
He is on parole for a 2008 state conviction for obstruction of justice and still owes Detroit $855,000 in restitution. He’s required to report gifts and other income as a condition of his parole, something officials say he has failed to do on a number of occasions. Additional charges and/or sanctions could be possible should new information on potential parole violation behavior come to light.”
