Former Ref Jailed for Federal Rule Violation
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy is back behind bars.
According to Hillsborough County jail records, Donaghy was being held without bond Tuesday for a federal rule violation. Details were not available.
A message left early Tuesday at the office of Donaghy's attorney was not immediately returned.
Donaghy was given a 15-month sentence last year after he said he took thousands from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games -- including games he worked. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce.
Donaghy was moved to a halfway house this year after serving part his sentence in a federal prison camp. He was scheduled for release in October.
