Ex-West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Reports to Prison

A former West Virginia Supreme Court justice at the center of an impeachment scandal has reported to federal prison for his two-year sentence.

The Bureau of Prisons says Allen Loughry reported to a South Carolina prison on Friday.

Loughry was sentenced earlier this year after being found guilty on charges including mail and wire fraud connected to his personal use of state cars and fuel cards.

Loughry has repeatedly denied benefiting personally from trips he took when he became a justice in 2013. His lawyer declined to comment when reached by phone Friday.

was his 2006 book, Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for Another Couch: The Sordid and Continuing History of Political Corruption in West Virginia, a review of the history of political corruption in the state.

The irony, she is so thick with this one!
