Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and tax evasion in federal court last month, faces a new perjury charge.
Maryland State Prosecutor Charlton Howard said his office filed the perjury charge in connection with Pugh’s Healthy Holly LLC, the company where she earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from the sale of children’s books.
“This particular charge refers to her time as a state senator, and it refers to financial disclosure documents that were filed in Anne Arundel County during her time as state senator,” Howard said.
