Former state representative Reggie Fullwood has a new leadership position, two years after he was sentenced in federal court in 2017.
Fullwood pleaded guilty to using campaign funds for personal use and failing to file tax returns.
His probation was supposed to last until Feb. 2020, but federal court records show a judge let him out of that probation early so he could take a new job at Operation New Hope, a local organization that offers second chance solutions to formerly incarcerated individuals.
Some might say a perfect fit for his own second chance opportunity. Fullwood joined us to discuss his new role as the project manager for Operation New Hope's Ready4Work initiative.
