Manistee -- Federal charges against former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick mean that his stay at a northern Michigan prison won't last much longer, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections said Wednesday. But Kilpatrick's Detroit attorney, James C. Thomas, said it's not yet clear where Kilpatrick will be housed while he awaits trial on federal fraud and tax charges. It could be at the state prison near Manistee, where is now locked up, it could be in a county jail, or it could be in a federal prison such as Milan, Thomas said. State prison spokesman Russ Marlan said Kilpatrick will be the responsibility of U.S. marshals once he's transported to Detroit for his arraignment July 13. Marlan said the U.S. government will decide where it wants to lock up Kilpatrick while his case is in federal court. Federal officials typically keep defendants at county jails or at the federal prison in Milan. Kilpatrick is serving a minimum 14-month state sentence for probation violations in an unrelated case. Marlan says he'll continue to get credit while in federal custody awaiting trial. Read More. |
