Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy ((mugshot pictured, thanks HCSO)) is back behind bars.
According to Hillsborough County jail records, Donaghy was being held without bond Tuesday for a federal rule violation.
"He was supposed to be at work and he was somewhere else," said Deputy U.S. Marshal Ron Lindbak, who didn't know any more details. Jail records said Donaghy is in sales at the Sarasota-based beverage company ShotPak. Calls to company executives there were not immediately returned.
Donaghy's attorney, John Lauro, was out of town and did not immediately respond to phone messages.
A message left early Tuesday at the office of Donaghy's attorney was not immediately returned.
Donaghy was given a 15-month sentence last year after he said he took thousands from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games -- including games he worked. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce.
Donaghy was moved to a halfway house this year after serving part his sentence in a federal prison camp. He was scheduled for release in October.
