William Shelton, a former Ward 5 ANC commissioner who spent $28,000 of city funds on himself, was sentenced today to 30 days in jail and 150 days of home confinement, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney for D.C.

The amount stolen may be lower, but the crime and provenance of the elected official committing it is the same.

A Ward 5 ANC is getting back some of the money that was stolen from it by a member earlier this year.

What’s going on in Ward 5? First, the ward’s Councilmember, Harry Thomas, Jr., was sued by the city for misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in city funds. Now, one of the ward’s Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners is accused of inappropriately using $27,000 in city money.
