Plea deal accepted for former Detroit police deputy chief in towing scandal

A federal judge has accepted a plea deal for former Detroit Police Deputy Chief Celia Washington plea deal during a second hearing on Monday afternoon. Washington admitted to accepting $3,000 from Detroit towing titan Gasper Fiore but did not at first admit to the crime of Conspiracy to Commit Bribery. She said it was a loan that she intended to pay back and that she was not in a position to help Fiore get more towing business from the city of Detroit.
