Judge orders 10-year sentence for library bribes
DETROIT (AP) - The former technology chief for Detroit's public libraries has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for corruption.
Timothy Cromer was charged with taking $1.4 million in bribes and kickbacks from library contractors. He was the library's chief administrative and technology officer for seven years until 2013.
Cromer was sentenced Tuesday in Detroit federal court, five months after pleading guilty to bribery and conspiracy. Two co-defendants who also pleaded guilty will get their sentences on Oct. 28.
