You Can Buy One Of Catherine Pugh's 'Healthy Holly' Books For Over $32K On Amazon
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh will spend three years in prison on charges stemming from her "Healthy Holly" book scandal.
Now, someone has put up a used copy of one of her children's books on Amazon for thousands of dollars.
"Healthy Holly: Exercising is Fun" is up for sale on Amazon for $32,924.03.
The price went up from $19,560.41.
The copy is just one of the self-published children's books she sold to nonprofits and foundations, including Kaiser Permanente.
If you don't have that kind of cash, her book of poems and prose "Mind Garden: Where Thoughts Grow," is priced at $199.59.
From 2011 through 2018, the University of Maryland Medical System had a deal with Pugh, spending $500,000 for 100,000 copies of the "Healthy Holly" series.
As part of the judge's sentence, all government copies of the books have to be destroyed- so there's no certainty on how many copies will be left.
She was sentenced early Thursday afternoon for conspiracy to fraud the U.S. government, tax evasion and wire fraud.
