The ex-CEO of a Pennsylvania debt-collection company was sentenced Friday to three months in federal prison after making payments meant to reward then-Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown for business he thought she steered his way, authorities said.
Donald Donagher Jr. pleaded guilty in federal court in October to one count alleging he paid $869 in March 2014 to a Morton Grove trophy company that provided plaques for Brown’s Women’s History Month program. He also admitted he had $1,000 paid to a company that catered the event.
