Dean Reynolds should get used to orange jumpsuits or whatever fun outfits the St. Clair County Jail provides to inmates. He's going to be staying a while, The Detroit News reports.
U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland won't set Reynolds loose until his fall sentencing in a Macomb County corruption scandal. Robert Snell writes:
Reynolds claimed he needed to be released so he could undergo treatment for kidney cancer but the judge said recorded jail phone calls between Reynolds and relatives "at least" suggested the former Clinton Township trustee was trying to manipulate evidence. . . .
The judge's order was filed one day after federal prosecutors portrayed Reynolds as a crooked schemer who lied about having cancer, lied about his mother's medical problems and essentially committed wire fraud while asking donors to give him $10,000.
Harsh! Reynolds is looking at up to 10 years behind bars, He was convicted in June of 14 charges related to bribery in the Macomb County case.
