TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A former NBA referee says he was
attacked in prison by a fellow inmate who claimed he had ties to
the New York mob.
A spokesman for Tim Donaghy said Thursday that the former
referee, serving a 15-month sentence in a gambling scandal, was
struck in the right knee with a stick or other hard object in
November.
Pat Zaranek, of Executive Prison Consultants, says Donaghy
expects to be transferred from the camp in Pensacola to a halfway
house in Tampa next week.
Zaranek says the knee remains painful and will need surgery.
A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman declined comment, citing
privacy regulations.
