Former Crestwood Mayor Louis Presta was ordered released early from federal prison Thursday due to a precipitous decline in his health while serving his one-year term for bribery.
Presta, who turns 72 next month, was sentenced in April after pleading guilty to taking what he thought was a $5,000 bribe from a red-light camera company executive during an FBI sting.He reported in June to a medical prison facility in Lexington, Kentucky, and was expected to be released on April 18, 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
After enlisting the help of an independent doctor to examine Presta, the judge on Tuesday ordered the former mayor released immediately to home confinement to serve the remainder of his sentence. Presta, who at the time was running for Cook County commissioner, took the money in exchange for helping SafeSpeed get more red-light cameras in the village and boost revenues from existing cameras by approving more violations, according to his plea agreement.
