Prosecutors: Baltimore mayor’s $10K is a mystery

BALTIMORE — Investigators looking into Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon’s finances can’t determine the source of nearly $10,000 in cash that was deposited into her bank accounts in 2004, according to court documents.

The Democratic mayor faces trial in November on charges including perjury and theft. She’s accused of lying about gifts from her developer boyfriend and stealing gift cards intended for needy families when she was president of the City Council.

The State Prosecutor’s office filed documents on Friday including transcripts of grand jury testimony. An investigator testified he could not determine the source of $9,800 deposited in Dixon’s accounts.

Dixon criticized the expensive investigation into her personal business.
