Bobby DeLaughter
Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce says DeLaughter (deh-LAW'-ter) reported to a Kentucky prison before his 2 p.m. Monday deadline.
DeLaughter was sentenced to 18 months for lying about secret conversations he had with a lawyer while presiding over a case as a Hinds County judge.
DeLaughter became well known in 1994 as a prosecutor when he helped convict Byron de la Beckwith for the 30-year-old murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. The case was the basis for the 1996 movie "Ghosts of Mississippi."
