Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon to be released from prison Sept. 15
Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon, who pleaded guilty to a public corruption charge in 2014, is set to be released from prison on Sept. 15, a federal official told the Observer Thursday.
Cannon, a Democrat, entered Morgantown (W.Va.) Federal Correctional Institution on Nov. 18, 2014, to start a 44-month sentence. But the Observer reported last month that, based on policies and incentives available to all federal prisoners, Cannon could be back in Charlotte this month.
He will be in home confinement until Jan. 25, the official said.
A spokeswoman for the Morgantown facility declined to comment, citing prison policy. Cannon’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment.
