Three former St. Louis Aldermen were given nearly the maximum sentences by a federal judge Tuesday on corruption charges.
Former St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed and former Aldermen John Collins-Muhammad were sentenced to 45 months each in federal prison. Former Alderman Jeffrey Boyd was given 36 months.
In August, Reed and Boyd admitted they took bribes from a small business owner in exchange for supporting legislation for property tax breaks.
Boyd also pleaded guilty to a wire fraud indictment related to insurance claims.
Collins-Muhammad also pleaded guilty in late August to charges of bribery, racketeering and wire fraud.
