Reverend Al Sharpton's pastor brother has been jailed for 30 months for a slew of crimes including drug trafficking, income tax evasion and lying to obtain Social Security disability benefits.

Pastor Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow, 58, the half-brother of the civil rights leader, was sentenced to more than two years behind bars on Thursday for his illegal acts. His prison stint begins on August 17.

Glasgow pleaded guilty to embezzling $407,000 from two non-profit organizations he founded including, The Ordinary People Society (TOPS) located in Dothana, Alabama a felon voting rights advocacy organization, and the Prodigal Child Project.

Though the prosecutors allege he may have taken nearly $1 million from the nonprofits without reporting the income, but US District Judge R. Austin Huffaker rejected that claim, The Christian Post reported.

After the sentencing hearing Jim Parkman, one of Glasgow's defense attorneys, told the news outlet it was 'a fair sentence.'

Sharpton is not a Reverend. He never went to divinity school, he's never had a church, and he's never had a congregation. We was "ordained" at age 10 by a preacher and has perpetuated the lie ever since. He is a total fraud and an insult to those who earned the title of Reverend.

A liar, preacher of a false Social Justice gospel, who's fate is lined out in the Book of Jude, if he doesn't repent.

Yup. Most of us have known this since the 1970s.

. Too bad no one in The Stupid Party has never mentioned it.
