It will be a long time until Bobby Ferguson isn't a guest of the federal prison system, but there's no reason we can't make his stay a little longer with a few additional felony convictions.
The convicted racketeer and long-time associate of Kwame Kilpatrick is back in court Tuesday to face bid-rigging charges.
WDIV: U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade says the case involves allegations of fraud and illegal dumping at a federally funded housing project. Co-defendant Michael Woodhouse is also on trial.
Ferguson was previously tried for these alleged crimes, but the case ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
Last fall, Ferguson was sentenced to 21 years in prison for his role in the Kilpatrick Enterprise crimes.
