(USATODAY) — DETROIT — State Sen. Virgil Smith started serving his 10-month jail sentence Monday as punishment for shooting his ex-wife’s Mercedes-Benz, but he never resigned from his job as a legislator.
So, he will continue to receive his $71,685 annual salary plus benefits while serving time behind bars.
Smith, 36, D-Detroit, had agreed to resign from his job as part of a plea deal in the case, but then a judge said he didn’t have authority to impose that as a condition of sentence and took it out of the agreement.
