Early release for 91-year-old who hauled 2,600 pounds of cocaine to Michigan for cartel
Published July 01, 2015Associated Press Facebook Twitter Email
DETROIT – A U.S. judge has granted early release to a 91-year-old Indiana man imprisoned for taking at least 2,600 pounds of cocaine to Michigan for a Mexican drug cartel.
Leo Sharp of Michigan City, Indiana, was sentenced to three years in federal prison in May 2014 after admitting he drove loads of cocaine into Michigan. Prosecutors say the World War II veteran was paid about $1.25 million.
Federal prosecutors requested the early release. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds in Detroit unsealed a June 23 order that Sharp be freed because of an undisclosed medical condition.
The order says he has six to nine months to live and his "terminal medical condition" warrants the sentence reduction.
Sharp was being held at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota.

Good. Old guy is still a fucking badass at 91. Should have never spent a day in the legal system.

They freed him because they don't want to pay for his medical bills.

Probably not the case since either way his bills are paid he's a veteran, so the VA hospital is where he goes when he is out or in prison?

It comes out of the DOC budget. The VA doesn't reimburse the DOC.
