Government prosecutors today recommended that former D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown serve six days in jail—to be served on weekends—and be put on supervised release for three years for falsifying information on applications for two bank personal loans.

In a court filing first uncovered by the Legal Times (here in .PDF), prosecutors said that Brown “compromised the integrity of the banking system” when he overstated his income in order to get two bank loans, one for $166,000 and the second for $55,000. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of felony bank fraud in June.

In the filing, U.S. Attorney for D.C. Ron Machen took Brown to task for using the money to buy himself a powerboat, which he then ironically named “Bulletproof”:

Adding to the seriousness of this crime is the fact that the defendant broke the law so that he could purchase a boat, a luxury item. Although there is never an excuse for committing bank fraud, doing so to purchase a recreational vehicle is shameless. The defendant did not commit bank fraud to feed his family, pay a medical bill, or give money to the poor. He did this so he could own a 39- foot, 330-horsepower boat, a luxury few people can afford. The defendant’s disregard for the law in this context makes his crime that much more appalling.

Though he could have been sentenced to up to six months in prison, Machen says that Brown should be given credit because he pleaded guilty, cooperated with prosecutors, did not default on the loans, and resigned his seat on the council. In early October, though, Brown received a tongue-lashing from a judge for failing to call Pre-Trial Services as he was required to do.

Brown is set to be sentenced on November 12, and, if he is sentenced to jail time, will be the second former D.C. legislator sent to the slammer in a year. Former Ward 5 councilmember Harry Thomas, Jr. is currently serving 38 months in a federal facility for stealing $350,000 in city funds.
