Ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick accuses prosecutors of
In a continued fight over the restitution owed to the city of Detroit, former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick accuses federal prosecutors of “bullying” in their attempt to collect money following his 2013 conviction.
Federal authorities attempted to seize $13,167 from a Comerica Bank account after it was discovered this year. According to federal authorities, the account was listed in the name of Pathfinder Consulting LLC under Kilpatrick’s name.
In response, Kilpatrick filed a motion to object to a garnishment order on April 1, claiming that he does not own or manage the account and that his wife, LaTicia Kilpatrick, is the rightful holder. Kilpatrick claims that despite telling prosecutors that he did not own the account, authorities still put a hold on it.
“The only reason that this account was frozen and made a part of the garnishment process is because the federal authorities doctored and deformed the court order to have movant’s name on it, Kwame Kilpatrick, and the Pathfinder Consulting Firm bank account number,” read the motion. “They knowingly misguided the court and Comerica Bank with their order for these funds. They intentionally misled the court by not putting LaTicia Kilptrick on the order because they absolutely knew that it was not my account.”
CBS News Detroit reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for comment Thursday night and is awaiting a response.
This comes more than a month after Kilpatrick agreed to pay the $823,649 in restitution following his 2013 conviction on racketeering, bribery, extortion and other charges. Records show Kilpatrick agreed that any pension benefits and other forms of income would be garnished.
Kilpatrick was also approved for a payment plan.
In his latest motion, Kilpatrick claimed that prosecutors wanted to pull funds from the account and asked him to speak to his wife about it. Kilpatrick claims that the freezing of the Comerica account, his inability to access his “financial resources” and documents being leaked resulted in him having to remove his children from school and losing out on speaking engagements.
“I have constantly maintained that I am not involved in the management, executive decision-making, nor any banking issues concerning her business or financial affairs,” Kilpatrick wrote.
He later wrote, “LaTicia is not under any federal court jurisdiction, has never committed a crime, nor is she currently involved in any matter with any state or federal court … This bullying at best, but much more akin to extortion.”
Kilpatrick also claims that prosecutors violated a stipulated agreement regarding the restitution he owed. He says a percentage of his retirement check was agreed to go toward the outstanding balance, and prosecutors would unfreeze the account where the check was being deposited. However, he claims prosecutors failed to submit information to the court so the account could be released.
“Instead of honoring the court ordered stipulated agreement, the United States Attorney took two whole months of retirement funds and left the account with a ZERO balance. Which is not only count to the court order, but much more wicked in its intent, immorally leaving [Kilpatrick’s] family without any of their own money, and maliciously executed,” Kilpatrick wrote.
In the midst of a restitution battle, records show that Kilpatrick is at risk of losing a home in Novi over more than $50,000 in unpaid property taxes. Records show that taxes were not paid in 2024 and 2025.

After Deep Dive, Detroit Lions Learned What Went Wrong With Offense
The Detroit Lions offense failed to meet expectations at certain points throughout the 2025 NFL season.
With center Frank Ragnow abruptly retiring, the team’s offensive line struggled to gel, resulting in the run game being inconsistent and quarterback Jared Goff being pressured far more often than he or the coaching staff would like.
Speaking with Fox 2 Detroit at the annual league meetings, head coach Dan Campbell shared what he learned following a deep dive of last year’s film.

“I think a lot of it, our efficiency was not good,” said Campbell. “We’ve heard that word a lot, that’s with the run game. In critical moments, what we’ve done a really good job of for four years prior to last year, was when we needed to run the ball, when we needed it in criticals, to set up the rest of the game, it was there for us, we found a way. We were not able to do that.”
With both tight ends suffering injuries, the ability to block effectively was clearly noticeable. Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are a significant reason the Lions’ offense had success the past couple of seasons.
Removing them both from the offense had a detrimental impact on the ability to rush the football and to extend drives.
Far too often, Detroit’s third-down conversion percentages were not at the rate needed to keep drives extended. In the end, the struggles of the offense put the defense in disadvantageous positions as well.
“Look, there’s multiple reasons. It falls on my shoulders, some of it was the offensive line, some of it was losing Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright,” said Campbell. “That had a significant blow too, now. All of those things. That’s why we go through the cut-ups. You check yourself, but also, from a personnel standpoint, where can we get a little bit better and help our guys.”
While Campbell did not mention the issues with John Morton, Detroit’s offense was not the same with the experienced coach at the helm.
Explosive plays were a struggle and Goff was forced to toss the football quite quickly. His average air yards per pass was down compared to 2024.
Detroit made the decision to part ways with Morton and hired Drew Petzing to lead the offense in 2026. Campbell indicated he has been impressed very early on with what the former Cardinals coordinator has brought to the table.
