Kilpatrick was ordered to pay one million dollars in restitution as part of his original sentence. Today a judge said that Kilpatrick had hidden money and not paid the restitution in a timely manner which led to the violation of his probation.
The judge also noted that Kilpatrick, who while living in a Dallas, Texas suburb, was living in a one million dollar home, driving expensive cars and that his wife had elective cosmetic surgery all while owing restitution. Kilpatrick moved to Dallas after being released from jail last year.
As you may remember Kilpatrick was also involved in what was called the text messaging scandal, when the Detroit Free Press obtained text messages between the then mayor and his chief of staff Christine Beatty showing that the two were having an intimate relationship. Both were married at the time and had denied having an affair.

What in the world could Kilpatrick been thinking? If you are in jeopardy of being locked up over a debt and you are still spending money and enjoying the luxury, then you deserve jail.
He must felt the debt would get lost in the paperwork.
It's too bad that Detroit still suffers, despite the fact that this guy is gone.
I'm glad to know he's finally going to jail.
Plastic Surgery?? Was she trying to disguise herself so people wouldn't know who she was? Really?
@CO
Lol! I think she was 'guilting' Kwame into spending money on her Vanessa Bryant style.
