Worthy slams Kilpatrick for not naming sources of recent donations

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy filed a claim today that Kwame Kilpatrick has again violated terms of his probation by failing to disclose the sources of $40,223 paid on his behalf toward $1 million restitution the former mayor owes the city.

Documents filed in Wayne County Circuit Court include photocopies of 89 money orders received by the court clerk’s office on and around the Feb. 19 deadline for Kilpatrick to make a $79,011 payment ordered due after Judge David Groner determined Kilpatrick had hidden assets from the court.

Some of the checks aren’t signed. Some are signed by Kilpatrick relatives, such as his sister Ayana Kilpatrick Ferguson , brother-in-law Daniel Ferguson, and Kamal, Marvel, Marsha and Ray Cheeks.

“Defendant Kilpatrick has not disclosed this as a gift or benefit and has failed to disclose the source of payments,” according to the affidavit filed today by assistant prosecutors Robert Spada and Athina Siringas.

Kilpatrick is wanted on an arrest warrant for other alleged violations of the probationary terms that allow him to live in Texas and work as a $120,000-a-year computer software salesman for Compuware subsidiary Covisint. No date has been set for Kilpatrick’s return to face arraignment on charges that alleged at least seven other violations.
