Former Baltimore Police Commissioner De Sousa Reports To Federal Prison

Former Baltimore police Commissioner Darryl De Sousa is now a federal inmate.

De Sousa reported Monday to the Federal Correctional Institution at Fairton, in Fairton, New Jersey. The facility is a medium-security prison with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp and detention center.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons lists his release date as March 11, 2020. De Sousa was sentenced in March to 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to failing to file federal tax returns.

De Sousa was charged last May, only three months after the City Council voted 14-1 to confirm him and four months after he first took over after then-Mayor Catherine Pugh fired Commissioner Kevin Davis.

De Sousa was also ordered to serve a year of probation upon his release, perform 100 hours of community service and pay tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. De Sousa, who worked in city police for 30 years, admitted to falsely inflating deductions over a number of years.
