Ex-Philadelphia Traffic Court Judge Robert Mulgrew has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for a scheme to defraud the state Department of Community and Economic Development out of state grant funds awarded to nonprofits.

U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones II of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania delivered the sentence Wednesday, almost a year after Mulgrew pleaded guilty to mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and filing a false tax return related to the scheme.
