Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was sentenced to three years in prison after she pleaded guilty to federal fraud, tax, and conspiracy charges for a scheme involving her children’s book, “Healthy Holly.”
While in court, the 69-year-old asked District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow for mercy and issued an apology “to anyone I have offended or hurt through my actions,” reported local media. “No one is more disappointed than me,” Pugh said. “I did turn a blind eye. I did, and sanctioned many things I should not have.”
