The founding pastor of a West Side church has been sentenced to more
than three years in prison for defrauding a food program for low-income
children.
Robbie Wilkerson, 50, pleaded guilty in May to wire
fraud and money laundering, according to a statement from the U.S.
Department of Justice. He was sentenced Friday to 37 months in prison
and ordered to pay $440,964 in restitution.
His wife, Tasha
Wilkerson, also pleaded guilty to theft of government funds and was
sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison, prosecutors said. She was
ordered to pay $40,001 in restitution.
