This is the day former state senator Roscoe Dixon is scheduled to report to federal prison.
The Memphis Democrat was convicted in October and sentenced to five years and three months behind bars in the Tennessee Waltz public corruption probe.
Dixon was convicted of taking payoffs to push for changes in state law supposedly wanted by a company called E-Cycle Management. The company was a fake, however, created by the FBI as part of its investigation.
The investigation has led to indictments against eleven defendants, including five current or former state lawmakers and several local officials in Memphis and Chattanooga.
Dixon must report to a low-security federal correctional institute in Oakdale, Louisiana, by two p.m. today.

That is one firmly set jaw ... the man is dangerous, IMO.

Well darlin' .. he probably felt like you shouldn't have been handicapped ... not without
his permission.
That clenched jaw looks like a handicapped space stealer.

A Shelby County Ford going to jail?
Never happen, at least not in my lifetime. The Butcher Brothers case proved that they have permanent immunity.
