Former delegate Michael L. Vaughn (D-Prince George’s) was sentenced Tuesday to four years in federal prison for his role in a bribery conspiracy case involving the county liquor industry.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis handed down the sentence, which included three years of supervised released for Vaughn following his prison term. A jury convicted Vaughn of conspiracy and four counts of bribery on March 1, following a two-week trial.
During the sentencing Tuesday, the government also presented evidence that Vaughn had stolen more than $100,000 in campaign funds over an 11-year period and used them for personal expenses.
