Prosecutors are urging a federal judge to sentence former Ward 5 D.C. Councilman Harry Thomas Jr. to 46 months in prison for stealing more than $350,000 in city funds earmarked for youth baseball programs.

In a sentencing memorandum filed Friday, U.S. Attorney Ron Machen suggested the lengthy prison term, along with three years of probation and restitution. The prison sentence, Machen said, would be “at the upper end” of federal sentencing guidelines.
