Tax evasion sentence reduced over help with City Hall probe
Detroit — Convicted Asian Village restaurant owner Andrew Park, who helped bring corruption charges against ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, was sentenced to one year and a day in prison Wednesday on a tax-evasion charge.
He had faced up to 30 months, but Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gardey recommended a 16-month sentence because of the substantial cooperation Park gave City Hall corruption investigators.
Park was ordered to pay $301,988 in restitution and serve two years' supervised release.
A solemn Park on Wednesday admitted paying a bribe to ex-Kilpatrick aide Derrick Miller in hopes of securing city business.
