ST. LOUIS–Former 21st Ward alderman John Collins Muhammad, one of three now-former city lawmakers charged in a federal corruption probe, will plead guilty to three counts later this month, his attorney confirmed to Spectrum News Tuesday.

Court records and Collins-Muhammad’s attorney Joseph Flees confirmed a plea deal last month, but Flees said Tuesday that his client would plead guilty on Aug. 23 to Bribery Concerning Programs Receiving Federal Funds, one count of a violation of the Travel Act, and one count of Honest Services Fraud.

Collins-Muhammad, former Alderman Jeffrey Boyd and former Aldermanic Board President Lewis Reed, were charged in federal court for their roles in pay-to-play schemes involving tax abatements. Each entered not guilty pleas at their arraignment. Collins-Muhammad resigned from the Board of Aldermen prior to being charged. Boyd and Reed both resigned afterward.

Cases for Boyd and Reed go to trial on Sept. 12.

While Collins-Muhammad could be detained pending sentencing, Flees says the charges don’t require it.

“We intend to demonstrate to the Court that Mr. Collins-Muhammad has a stable home, stable job, no violations of pretrial release to date, no outstanding warrants, and that there is no evidence that he is a flight risk or danger to community,” he said in an email.
