Reports say Robinson pleaded guilty to federal charges this week
Second-hand reports began surfacing Friday evening that Kimberly K. Robinson, the Calumet Township Trustee had submitted her resignation earlier that day.
Reliable sources said Robinson had pleaded guilty to federal charges this week and the resignation is part of the agreement.
Sunday morning, Robinson sent a text message to friends and supporters confirming her resignation.
Robinson wrote, “Hello Family. If you haven’t already, you will soon hear that I have resigned my position as Calumet Township Trustee.
“More than anything, I’d like to say Thank You for your unwavering support during my tenure as Trustee. I truly appreciate each of you and regret any disappointment my situation may have caused.
“Please hold off on calls and texts for now, but keep me and my family in your prayers as we navigate this situation. Your understanding and grace mean the world to me.”
Robinson is the 3rd consecutive CT Trustee to have been charged with official misconduct.
Robinson is in her third term as Calumet Township Trustee. She was first elected in 2014, defeating then Township Trustee Mary Elgin. Elgin was later charged and convicted in 2018 of official misconduct and served time in a federal prison.
Elgin was preceded in the office by Dozier Allen, who also was charged and convicted of official misconduct. Allen and two co-defendants, Wanda Joshua and Ann Marie Karras received federal prison sentences in 2010. Joshua is Robinson’s mother.
