[UPDATE @ 1:00 P.M. CST]: The campaign for independent Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan said Tuesday afternoon it returned a $500 campaign donation from a man who plead guilty to mutilating a dead body.

A campaign spokesperson told Heartland Signal it returned a donation from Fareed Hajjar, who also pleaded guilty to facilitating travel for the purposes of prostitution. The return came shortly after Heartland Signal published a story on Tuesday about Hajjar’s donation.

Michigan’s campaign donation database shows that Duggan received a $500 donation from Fareed Hajjar on Sept. 30.
