Former Alabama police chief reports to federal prison in Florida
The former police chief of Stevenson, a small town in Jackson County, reported to federal prison today to begin a 27-month sentence for civil rights violations.
Ex-chief Daniel Gordon Winters is housed at Coleman Low, a low-security federal correctional institution in Sumter County, Florida, said Justin King, of the Federal Bureau of Prisons Office of Public Affairs.
