PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy has reported to a federal prison camp in Pensacola to begin his 15-month sentence in a gambling scandal.
Donaghy's attorney, John Lauro, says his client arrived at the Saufley Field minimum-security prison about 1 p.m. Tuesday.
A New York judge sentenced Donaghy in July after the 41-year-old said he took thousands of dollars from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games -- including games he refereed. Donaghy said he was a gambling addict who needed treatment, not incarceration.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce in the tips-for-payoffs scheme.
