Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Jailed

Inmate No. 25330, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, will be treated the same way as any other prisoner in the Wayne County Jail, said Wayne County Police Chief Warren Evans. Judge Ronald Giles sent Kilpatrick to Wayne County Jail for failing to notify the court of his trip to Canada and violating the terms of his bond. Despite Kilpatrick's humble apologies to the court beforehand, Giles said he needed to treat Kilpatrick as an ordinary citizen and sent him immediately to jail. Giles revoked Kilpatrick's bond and suspended all travel. "What matters to me though is how the court overall is perceived and how if it was not Kwame Kilpatrick sitting in that seat, if it was John Six-Pack sitting in that seat, what would I do? And that answer is simple," he said.
