Al Sharpton’s pastor brother has been jailed for 30 months after being convicted of multiple crimes, including drug trafficking and fraud.
58-year-old Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow was convicted of crimes including conspiracy to distribute cocaine, embezzlement, income tax evasion, and lying to obtain Social Security disability benefits.
He pleaded guilty to embezzling $407,000 from two nonprofit organizations he founded. He also confessed to collecting disability benefits.
Glasgow will begin his prison stint on August 17. Besides the jail sentence,
U.S. District Judge R. Austin Huffaker also ordered Glasgow to pay $376,000 in restitution.
Decades ago, Glasgow served 14 years in a Florida prison on drug and robbery convictions.
Glasgow is facing additional legal issues in Houston County, Alabama, for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a traffic stop.
According to The Daily Caller:
“He was previously charged in 2018 with aiding a friend in the murder of a woman who had stolen his friend’s car, WTVY reported.
“A grand jury refused to indict Glasgow for the charges because of insufficient evidence.”
