Former Rep. Steve Brown, D-St. Louis, who was sentenced to two years of probation and fined $40,000 after pleading guilty to a federal obstruction charge, has paid the $40,000 fine, according to information filed in U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Brown was placed on probation after helping the government with its case against former Sen. Jeff Smith. D-St. Louis, who was sentenced to one year and one day in prison. The crimes were committed to cover up illegal activities in Smith's 2004 Congressional campaign against Russ Carnahan.
