Former Gwinnett County Commissioner Shirley Lasseter ordered to report to prison
Federal court officials in Atlanta have ordered former Gwinnett County Commissioner Shirley Lasseter to report to prison.
Federal authorities say she must begin serving her 33-month sentence at a federal prison in Florida by December 12. Lasseter pleaded guilty to corruption charges in May.
Lasseter admitted to accepting $36,000 in bribes in exchange for her vote in a real estate development. Lasseter's son and another man also pleaded guilty in the case, and each was sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
