Detroit Mayor Kwame (KWAH’-mee) Kilpatrick must pay $7,500 and undergo random drug testing after a judge changed terms of his bond.
State District Judge Ronald Giles’ ruling Friday came after two investigators testified the irate mayor shoved one of them a day earlier.
The judge said Kilpatrick’s behavior constitutes harassment and called the situation “ridiculous.”
Giles also said the mayor now will need the court’s approval for certain travel.
Kilpatrick’s previous bond was $75,000, but he was not required to pay. Now, he owes 10 percent.
The mayor and his former top aide, Christine Beatty, face perjury and other charges tied to their testimony in a civil trial last year. They deny the charges.
