\nA Louisville political consultant who pleaded guilty to bribery in connection with a case against former Personnel Secretary Tim Longmeyer has been sentenced to five years in prison.<\/p>\n
The U.S. attorney’s office in Lexington said in a news release, 57-year-old Lawrence J. O’Bryan was sentenced Thursday and fined $100,000. O’Bryan pleaded guilty in September to three counts of bribery concerning a federally funded program. He has paid more than $642,000 in restitution.<\/p>\n
O’Bryan admitted taking kickbacks on Longmeyer’s behalf beginning in 2009. Longmeyer pleaded guilty to a related charge and was sentenced to 70 months.<\/p>\n
O’Bryan’s plea agreement says Longmeyer agreed to steer contracts to MC Squared Consulting, whose owner agreed to pay O’Bryan some proceeds, and O’Bryan kicked back some to Longmeyer.<\/p>\n
Samuel McIntosh and Myron Harrod, both affiliated with MC Squared, pleaded guilty to related charges.
