Kilpatrick Fills Shelves While In Jail



Detroit (AP)  -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick went on a shopping spree during his first full day in jail, spending $40 on food, toiletries and triple-XL long johns.

Records released Friday to the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News show Kilpatrick\'s purchases included granola bars, barbecue potato chips, shampoo and $2 worth of Vaseline.

In late October, Kilpatrick began serving a 120-day sentence for obstruction of justice and assault. With good behavior, he could be out of jail after 100 days.

Kilpatrick was in a scandal that involved courtroom lies, sex with a top aide and incriminating text messages.

The Wayne County jail did not release the names of Kilpatrick\'s visitors. He reported to jail in a business suit and had 18 pairs of socks and $67.

Catch up on the story.
