The father of ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has reported to a Texas prison to start serving a 15-month sentence in a corruption case that led to a 28-year sentence for his son.
A jury in March found Bernard Kilpatrick guilty of a tax crime, while acquitting him or failing to agree on other charges.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds sentenced the father Oct. 19. WXYZ-TV says that 72-year-old Bernard Kilpatrick surrendered Tuesday.
