Glenn Marshall released from federal prison

Glenn Marshall has been released from federal prison, according to an online database for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Marshall, the former leader of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, was released after having served 3 years of his full 3 1/2-year sentence for political corruption and embezzling funds from the tribe.
For the past month, he was in a half-way house in Boston as a transition from his time behind bars, records show.
In March, Marshall's wife told the Times that she expected her husband to get an even earlier release from prison, but that never materialized.
Marshall plead guilty to charges that he stole nearly $400,000 given to the tribe by an initial investor and used the money as his personal slush fund spending the cash on things like groceries and vacations.
He was also convicted of making illegal campaign contributions in an attempt to gain favor for the tribe in its bid to gain federal recognition.
Now that he's out of prison, Marshall faces a lawsuit in tribal court where tribe leaders seek to recoup the money stolen from the tribe.
Marshall was forced to resign as leader of the tribe in 2007 after the Times reported that he had lied about his military service and had previously been convicted of rape.
