Pugh resigned last May after the FBI and IRS raided her home amid speculation, she was involved in large book sales to disguise hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from the University of Maryland Medical System and managed-care consortium KaiserPermanente. 

The Sun notes that in the sentencing memorandum were accounts from agents of the raid. It said Pugh told agents that all of her electronic devices were handed over, and her personal phone was located with her sister in Philadelphia.

However, one agent, who had enough of Pugh’s bullshit, called the phone and heard it ringing from the bedroom. 

"Almost immediately, the agents heard a vibrating noise emanating from her bed. Pugh became emotional, went to the bed and began frantically searching through the blankets at the head of the bed. As she did so, agents starting yelling for her to stop and show her hands," prosecutors wrote.

Fraud runs deep in Baltimore City. The former mayor is about to do hard time, and it will set an example for the other corrupt politicians in the town.
