Ex-Klan Leader Duke Begins Prison Term
From Times Wire Reports
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke turned himself in to a federal prison in Big Spring to begin a 15-month sentence for mail and tax fraud.
Duke, who was driven to the West Texas prison in a light brown Jeep, did not appear to acknowledge about eight admirers outside the facility who waved signs that read “Duke for President” and “Free David Duke.”
Duke is a former Louisiana state representative who ran for governor and the U.S. Senate about a decade ago.
