Correction: This report previously misstated who was convicted of perjury in a 2015 video deposition. Brian Pope was convicted of perjury in that deposition.

Suspended Lafayette City Marshal Brian Pope is set to be sentenced Wednesday following his convictions on four charges that include perjury and malfeasance in office, but 19 more charges await him in the coming months.

A Lafayette jury found Pope guilty on one count of perjury and three counts of malfeasance in office in October after he lied during a deposition in December 2015 and used public money to hire attorneys in 2016. A sentencing date is set for Wednesday, but Pope's lawyers have filed a motion for acquittal, which could change that.

Pope faces as much as a $5,000 fine and five year sentence for each count of malfeasance with an additional fee and sentence possible for his perjury conviction. He may also be required to repay to the marshal's office the money he was convicted of using to illegally pay for attorneys.

Pope was indicted in December on charges claiming he had pocketed some $85,000 of fees collected by his office, but a recent audit of the marshal's office showed that Pope took home more than $95,000 between February and October 2018.

That money was in addition to his annual pay — about $86,000 — and came in the form of fees paid to the office and a 6% commission on garnishments, which a January 2018 opinion from the state Attorney General's Office requested by Pope determined "are not payable to the Marshal as compensation."

Pope was immediately suspended without pay following his felony convictions on Oct. 3, 2018.

The additional findings by the audit stand to add more charges against Pope in the future.

Pope is the subject of one other indictment, issued in March, which alleges that he requested $3,000 in 2018 for reimbursement of business expenses that were paid for by the marshal's office and pocketed that money as well. Pope pleaded not guilty in both.

On Wednesday, Pope is expected to be sentenced for one count of perjury for lying during a video deposition in the public records case about a mass email service, as well as three counts of malfeasance for using public money to hire an attorney to try to unseal Sheriff Mark Garber's divorce records, to hire an attorney to represent his employees who weren't under criminal investigation and to hire a lawyer to help overturn his criminal contempt conviction.

The convictions stem from an October 2015 press conference in which Pope alleged that Garber, who was then running for sheriff, encouraged illegal immigrants to file worker's comp claims in the state.

Pope went to court to fight a public records request regarding the press conference, which eventually led to the deposition for which he was convicted of perjury.

Pope is also the subject of a federal lawsuit filed by Steven Wilkerson, who led the petition to force a recall election against Pope in 2017. Wilkerson was arrested by deputies from the marshal's office in December 2017, the day the petition failed to trigger a recall election, on an expired 1997 warrant for four worthless checks written by Wilkerson totaling less than $200.

The suit alleges that Pope and three marshal's office employees targeted Wilkerson "as a show of force for the general public that Pope was not to be challenged or opposed" and violated his First Amendment right to petition.

The suit adds that deputies from the marshal's office did not provide Wilkerson with a Miranda warning during his arrest and that Pope and his deputies deliberately waited to execute the expired warrant until after the recall petition deadline "to maximize the public spectacle he intended to create."
