Convicted councilman’s vehicles for sale
Federal government is selling two vehicles seized from recently imprisoned former D.C. Councilman Harry Thomas Jr.’s home.
A filing in federal court last week states Thomas’ 2008 Victory Motorcycle and 2008 Chevy Tahoe SUV had been forfeited to the United States by order of the court.
Thomas, who is now serving a three-year, two-month sentence in an Alabama federal prison, admitted he purchased those vehicles using money he stole from the city government.
