FLINT, MI — Michael Grimes, a former Flint United Auto Workers official who admitted to accepting more than $1.5 million in bribes from vendors as part of a broader corruption scandal, has reported to a federal prison to begin serving his sentence.
Federal Bureau of Prison records show Grimes, 66, is being housed at the federal prison at Estill, South Carolina, after having been granted time to relocate his family back to Michigan and complete the process of forfeiting a Florida property to the U.S. government as part of his 28-month sentence.
