Former NYPD inspector Dwayne Montgomery pled guilty Monday to conspiracy charges for his role in orchestrating a straw donor scheme to benefit Eric Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign.
Montgomery — whom the mayor knew socially from their service as police officers — copped to fifth-degree conspiracy charges, a Class A misdemeanor, in front of Judge Althea Drysdale at Manhattan Criminal Court early Monday morning. In the plea agreement, Montgomery agreed to pay a $500 fine and submit to 200 hours of community service, which he will complete as an instructor at BKLYN Combine, a non-profit serving African-American youth from financially disadvantaged communities.
