HAMMOND — Disgraced former North Township Supervisor Robert Cantrell won an early release from court supervision last week after paying his restitution in full, U.S. District Court records show.
Judge Rudy Lozano on Thursday granted Cantrell's Feb. 10 motion for early termination of supervised release.
Lozano wrote in an order filed Tuesday he agreed with the U.S. attorney's office that Cantrell's criminal conduct was substantial and extensive, but he was not convinced requiring Cantrell to remain on supervised release would have any greater deterrent effect.
The judge said he would grant Cantrell's motion if he finished paying restitution within two weeks. On Wednesday, Cantrell paid the remaining $3,647.87 of the the $68,000 in restitution he was ordered to pay, court records say.
Cantrell spent five years and two months in prison for political corruption.
