ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Baltimore’s disgraced former mayor who already has been sentenced to three years in federal prison in a scandal over her “Healthy Holly” children's books touting exercise and nutrition is expected to plead guilty to a state perjury charge, Maryland's state prosecutor confirmed Tuesday.

Catherine Pugh is expected to enter the guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge at a June 19 hearing in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, said State Prosecutor Charlton Howard.

“As indicated in the order of the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court scheduling a plea hearing on June 19th, I anticipate Ms. Pugh will enter a guilty plea on that date,” Howard wrote in an email. “Of course, Ms. Pugh may change her mind prior to, or during the course of, the June 19th hearing, as is the right of every criminal defendant.”

Pugh, a Democrat, is scheduled to report to federal prison later this month. Last year, she pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges relating to her self-published children’s book called “Healthy Holly.”

The perjury charge relates to Pugh’s failure to disclose her business interest in Healthy Holly, LLC on her financial disclosure forms when she was a Maryland state senator. She faces up to 10 years in prison on the perjury charge.

The perp should hit the big house once the covid is fully eradicated.

At the risk of being called racist, I may be getting my ineffectual black woman mayors of major cities confused.

I looked it up. You can be a convicted felon and still be on a presidential ticket. Mr. Biden, are listening? You said you were gong to pick a female running mate. Biden/Pugh just might be the way to go.

Is she also running, again, for mayor in Baltimore, or is that another corrupt former female mayor of the city?

“Last year, she pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges...”

Former Baltimore mayor, DEMOCRAT, Catherine Pugh.

HOORAY Law ENFORCEMENT. Kym Worthy’s prosecution of Detroit arrogant, thug, gangster mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, comes to mind with this one. ‘Rat corrupt mayors. Who’da thunkit?

NO justice, NO republic, NO civilization.

Good news, Libloather. Thanks for posting. FY’all information...
