The wife of former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson resigned from her seat on the County Council on Tuesday, five days after she pleaded guilty to destroying evidence in a federal corruption probe.
Leslie Johnson handed her resignation letter to Council Chair Ingrid Turner on Tuesday morning, said her attorney, Shawn Wright. The resignation is effective July 31, the last day before the Council recess.
Johnson admitted in federal court that she destroyed a $100,000 check from a developer to her husband and stuffed nearly $80,000 in illicit cash into her underwear as federal agents knocked on the door of the couple's Mitchellville home. Her sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 13; sentencing guidelines call for her to receive between a year and a year and a half in prison.

She's decided she has enough to retire on....
About time! She and her husband have been slipping to the taxpayers under the name of "helping the minorities" for way too long.
I bet after she comes back from her sentence she gets another shot at being on the gov't payroll.
