Norman Seabrook, the disgraced former head of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association wants to serve his upcoming prison from home because of COVID concerns.
Norman Seabrook's attorney is arguing the 60-year-old is at high-risk for contracting the virus. They want his sentence converted to home confinement or postponed until there is a vaccine.
Seabrook, who spent more than 20 years as the president of COBA, was convicted on conspiracy and bribery charges in 2018. He was sentenced to serve 58 months — nearly five years — in prison.
Prosecutors say Seabrook took more than $60,000 in kickbacks to invest union money in a hedge fund.
He was set to turn himself in on Dec. 29.
