The prosecutor who forced Kwame Kilpatrick out of the Detroit mayor's office said he violated his probation by missing a Friday deadline to make a $79,011 payment toward his $1 million restitution to the city.
Kilpatrick could face jail or prison as a consequence. His lawyers had warned he couldn't afford the payment: Money orders worth only $14,048 were dropped off at the Wayne County Circuit Court bond office on his behalf.
"We expect that a violation-of-probation warrant will issue," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. "When that comes we will be prepared to attend any hearings." Her office said the warrant could come in the "near future."
Kilpatrick, who now lives and works in the Dallas area, could be sent to jail if a judge finds he violated his probation in a criminal case that ended his political career.
