On Thursday, Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper vowed to “vigorously
fight” corruption accusations, including the claim that she was on the
receiving end of a Dunkin’ Donuts bag filled with $8,000 in
soon-to-be-laundered cash.

A day earlier, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, she had
cleaned out her city hall office, then reported to the jail in downtown
Fort Lauderdale.

Cooper, a 57-year-old Democrat who has been mayor of the city 20 miles
north of Miami since 2005, is charged with several corruption charges:
money laundering, official misconduct and exceeding the limit on
campaign finance contributions — all felonies that carry a maximum
five-year prison sentence each. She’s also accused of soliciting
contributions in a government building — that same now-vacant city hall
office.
