A former Tennessee state senator has reported to federal prison.
Brian Kelsey plead guilty in 2022 to an illegal campaign finance scheme, then tried to take back his plea.
A federal Bureau of Prisons database shows Kelsey is now an inmate at FCI Ashland in Kentucky.
The 47 year old former Republican Senator from Germantown was ordered to arrive at the prison’s minimum security satellite camp by Monday.
Kelsey plead guilty in November of 2022 to charges related to his attempts to funnel campaign money from his state legislative seat toward his failed 2016 congressional bid.
He later tried to rescind the plea due to events in his personal life, and when that failed, he filed other challenges.
