DETROIT, Michigan (CNN) — Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was jailed Thursday after a judge found that he had violated terms of his bond by taking an unauthorized trip to Canada last month.

Kilpatrick, who is facing felony charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct of office, had been free on $75,000 bond.

“It’s very unfortunate,” said Kenneth Cockrel Jr., president of the Detroit City Council and one of Kilpatrick’s critics. “It’s another sad chapter in an ongoing saga, which I hope can be brought to a close soon. It’s not good for the city of Detroit; it’s not good for the southeastern Michigan region; it’s not good for the entire state.”
