One of the highest profile defendants in Luzerne County's "Kids for Cash" scandal reported to federal prison on Monday.
Businessman Robert Mericle will serve his time at a minimum security prison camp near Minersville in Schuylkill County where he reported on Monday afternoon.
Mericle was sentenced in April to one year behind bars and a quarter million dollar fine. He admitted to knowing two Luzerne County judges took bribes to help keep open a juvenile detention center near Pittston.
