Baltimore Mayor Sheila Ann Dixon (2007—2010) Born and raised in West Baltimore, Dixon was indicted on 12 felony and misdemeanor counts, including perjury, theft, and misconduct. The charges stem partly from perjury and incidents in which she allegedly stole gift cards intended for the poor, which she used to
purchase a fur coat and electronics. She was only found guilty of one count of misappropriation of funds. She resigned from office as a part of a plea deal that did not result in a conviction. Although she agreed to never run for office again in Maryland, the plea deal allowed her to keep her $83,000 pension.

On 25 April 2019, FBI agents raided the homes of Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh after she was placed under federal investigation over the sale of thousands of children’s books, written and self-published by her, to organisations that conducted business with the city. According to the Baltimore Sun, Mayor Pugh received $500,000 from the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) for 100,000 copies of the books that would go to schools while she was on the hospital system's board. In addition, health provider Kaiser Permanent said it had paid more than $100,000 for 20,000 copies of the books while it was negotiating a contract to become the medical insurance provider for Baltimore city employees. Mayor Pugh, who is currently on leave due to ill health, described the UMMS book deal a regrettable mistake and said she had returned a $100,000
payment. Catherine Pugh became the Democratic candidate for Mayor in 2015 after she defeated former Mayor Sheila Dixon in the primaries. Dixon was forced to resign after, in 2009, she was found guilty of fraudulent misappropriation.
