Vigil doesn’t have to report to prison just yet

Former state Treasurer Robert Vigil will get as much as another three weeks of freedom.

He was originally ordered to report to prison today to begin serving his 37-month sentence for a conviction on attempted extortion, but the Bureau of Prisons hasn’t yet figured out where to house him, the Albuquerque Journal is reporting.

U.S. District Judge James Browning recommended prisons in Florence, Colo., or Austin, Texas, the newspaper reported. He gave Vigil another 21 days of freedom, unless the bureau assigns him to a facility before then, in which case he’ll have to report as soon as that happens.
