A Dothan man was arrested again on Monday just two months after former President Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
Dothan Police charged Willie Frank Peterson on Monday with possessing cocaine, hydrocodone, marijuana, and two counts of illegally possessing firearms, according to WTVY.
Biden commuted Peterson's prior sentence and those of many other criminals in his final days in office.
According to WTVY, court records show Peterson was sentenced to 75 months in August 2023. Biden commuted his sentence on January 17, and he was released from prison the following week. A commutation isn’t a full pardon but rather a lesser penalty substituted for the punishment given after a conviction.
According to the DOJ, Al Sharpton’s half-brother Kenneth Glasgow’s sentence also included a charge of conspiring with Peterson to possess cocaine with intent to distribute.
Sharpton unsuccessfully lobbied for a pardon for Glasgow in the final months of Biden’s presidency.
