Another Camden Mayor Leaves Office for Prison

When I was working in Philadelphia, the mayor of Camden left office and went straight to prison. He was the third Camden mayor out of the last 5 to make that transition.

Camden Mayors:

• Milton Milan (1997-2000). Milton Milan was the third mayor of Camden to be indicted for corruption within the past 20 years.


• Arnold Webster (1993-1997). Arnold Webster was the second mayor of Camden to be indicted for corruption. He "pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges in 1998".


• Aaron Thompson (1990-1993)


• Melvin R. Primas, Jr. (1981-1990)


• Angelo Errichetti (1973-1981). Angelo Errichetti was the first mayor of Camden to be indicted for corruption. He was indicted following Abscam.

Milan’s predecessor, Arnold Webster, pleaded guilty to illegally paying himself $20,000 in school district funds after he became mayor.

Angelo Errichetti, mayor from 1973 to 1981, served more than 21/2 years in prison for taking a $50,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent in the Abscam case.
