Pension of imprisoned former Michigan prosecutor frozen by judge

MOUNT CLEMENS, MI -- A judge has frozen the pension of former Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith who is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence while another case is ongoing. According to the Associated Press, Oakland County Circuit Judge Nanci Grant issued the ruling after a request was made by Michigan Attorney General’s Office that pensions for Smith and his former chief of operations, Derek Miller be frozen. Grant is handling the case as the judges in Macomb County disqualified themselves. Smith is facing 10 charges in that case, while Miller is facing two. The pensions, which are through the Macomb County Employees Retirement System, or MCERS, will be frozen until further ruling from Grant.
