In July 2009, Mayor Mullins was arrested on charges of official misconduct and concealing evidence.[11] The following March, a jury found him guilty on three counts of official misconduct. Prosecutors said Mullins falsified documents to cover up payments made to his own business by the City of Oakland, after he had completed work on city owned vehicles at his privately owned repair shop, but did not document the $2,000 payment.[12] Mullins was sentenced to one year probation and prohibited from holding any elected or appointed office for 10 years.[13]
