[SD U-T] The disgraced former DEMOCRAT
mayor of Baltimore who resigned amid investigations into deals to sell her self-published children's books has been charged with fraud and tax evasion.
An 11-count federal indictment unsealed Wednesday accuses
DEMOCRAT
Catherine Pugh of abusing her office for personal gain.
Pugh resigned in early May after authorities began probing whether she arranged bulk sales of "Healthy Holly" books to disguise hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks.
