Prince George’s County Councilwoman Leslie Johnson has pleaded guilty in federal court to charges connected to the corruption probe that netted her husband, former county executive Jack Johnson.
Leslie Johnson was accused of trying to destroy evidence as FBI agents knocked on the door of her Mitchellville, Md., home last November.
She pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy to commit witness and evidence tampering. With her guilty plea, she will have to resign her seat upon sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 13. The maximum sentence she could receive is 20 years in prison.
