“Mr. Strawberry served time and paid back taxes after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion.
“Following his career, Mr. Strawberry found faith in Christianity and has been sober for over a decade – he has become active in ministry and started a recovery center which still operates today.”
Strawberry, now 63, was sentenced to three years’ probation and repaid $350,000 in back taxes following his guilty plea.
Trump’s pardon does not wipe Strawberry’s slate completely clean, as the drug charges were brought by state prosecutors rather than federal authorities.
