BALTIMORE — A Baltimore businessman has pleaded guilty to two federal charges stemming from bribes totaling $42,500 that he paid to a former state lawmaker while she was still in office. 

Lance Andre Lucas pleaded guilty Monday to federal honest services wire fraud and a travel act violation, admitting to bribing former state Del. Cheryl Diane Glenn.

Prosecutors accuse Lucas of making 11 payments to Glenn starting in May 2018. 

Glenn pleaded guilty in January to accepting more than $33,000 in bribes from people other than Lucas. 

She received most of Lucas' money after she had been interviewed in connection with other bribes.
