MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, convicted in a corruption probe tied to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, has been moved from a federal prison in West Virginia

Ney, a former chairman of the House Administration Committee, resigned Nov. 3, 2006, after pleading guilty about a month earlier to making false statements and conspiracy to commit fraud. The charges stem from his ties to former lobbyist Abramoff, who is also in federal prison.

Ney admitted taking gifts from Abramoff in return for political favors.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said Ney would be released from the bureau's custody Aug. 16, and could be transferred to home confinement in Ohio before then. He reported to the Morgantown facility March 1, 2007.

3. Accepting bribes during wartime

And he serves less than a year in jail. If only they'd nailed him carrying a baggie of pot . . .
