Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.comCLEVELAND, Ohio-The grandson of Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson, the city's third Black mayor, will be sentenced before Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Suzan Marie Sweeney after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges involving an incident in which he is accused of threatening two people, and carrying a gun while in the possession of pain killers, specifically two oxycodone pills, which police allegedly found wrapped in a dollar bill.


Frank Q. Jackson, 22, who carries the mayor's first and last names and is really his step grandson and the grandson of his wife Edwina since the older Jackson has no biological children, is scheduled to be sentenced on convictions on charges of  menacing, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, and aggravated disorderly conduct and attempted drug abuse, both first-degree misdemeanors.

He faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each first degree misdemeanor conviction, and 30 days in jail and a $250 fine on the fourth degree misdemeanor.

Sources say he will likely get probation.

The younger Jackson, who is represented in his current criminal case by Attorney Daniel Tirfagnehu, has had a brush with the law before, the last time, aside from his current case, in 2017.

He was arrested by CMHA officers in June of 2017 for a traffic citation and police found a 40-caliber pistol and a loaded magazine in his Ford truck, his record in that case later wiped clean as part of a diversion program for first offenders.

The latest controversy for  the family of Mayor Jackson, 72,  follows an eight-year sentence issued in February to the mayor's nephew, Nicholas Martin, 38, on a federal weapons charge, Martin with a history of arrests.  


The Black Democratic mayor's fourth four-year term ends in 2022, and he remains a popular political figure of Cleveland, a largely Black major American city.

Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
