STARR COUNTY - Starr County's former sheriff will get more time locked down at home, rather than in a prison cell.
Reymundo Guerra's lawyer, Phillip Hilder, tells us Guerra was expected to begin his prison sentence today.
The ex-sheriff was sentenced to more than five years in prison for his ties to a drug trafficking organization.
We're told Guerra checked in with the U.S. Marshals, but the government has yet to assign him to a prison.
He should get word soon about one. Once he's notified, Guerra will have seven days to turn himself in.
The former sheriff has been on house arrest since May.
