The daughter of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who was US President Barack Obama's pastor for 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, was sent to jail Monday after violating bail terms.
Jeri L. Wright (49) was left free through a deal while waiting to be sentenced for charges of money laundering, reports the Chicago Sun Times, but it was ruled that she likely committed a separate crime of theft while on bail violating her terms, and leading to her detention.
Last March during a trial over her part in a state grant fraud, Wright was found guilty of money-laundering, as well as lying to federal investigators and to a grand jury.
According to prosecutors, even while she was on trial for that case, Wright was involved in another scheme of ghost payrolling, through which she got 13 payments of $8,192 total during a period from last February to last May. The payments were from a temporary staffing agency for work "she never performed" at a plastics factory in Indiana, according to prosecutors.
The payments were allegedly authorized by a plant manager who is being investigated for "making fraudulent credit card charges and hiring several" ghost payrollers, and who has been fired since.
In the grant-fraud case on which Wright was already on bail, she stole up to $11,000 of state money and used part of the cash to pay for a car loan, later lying to authorities and a grand jury about the theft. Wright is to be sentenced for the grant-fraud case on March 20.

Coming home to roost!
Byeeeeeeeeee thug.
Guess what? She also claimed that Obama had sex with her when she was 17. But, the court records are sealed just like his college transcripts, marriage license, birth certificates of his children, and his Selective Service Registration records. People sometimes forget history. If Obama was born in the United States in 1960, by 1978 he would have been, required to register for Selective Service. There is no registration on record!
.
Not to worry. Holder has the pardon papers already prepared for Mr. Veto Pen to scribble on.
What does Rev. daughter have to do with Obama you see you create problems by digging in the trash pile were I think you are at the bottom.
