PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered a two-year sentence for a former Kentucky lawmaker who is already serving seven years in a separate case.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Pikeville Democratic former state Rep. W. Keith Hall was sentenced Thursday for aggravated identity theft. He must complete the sentence he’s serving in the bribery case before beginning the new sentence.
Hall pleaded guilty in February in a deal in which five other counts were dismissed.
