Former Romulus Mayor LeRoy Burcroff, 59, was handed a significant sentence, three years probation and four months of home confinement, for his serious offenses of stealing and misusing over $15,000 in campaign funds.

The former mayor of Romulus pleaded guilty on Thursday to wire fraud of campaign funds.

The money trail from two political campaigns has led to federal wire fraud charges against the former mayor of Romulus.
