Marion Jones moved from Fort Worth to San Antonio

FORT WORTH, Texas —

Former U.S. track star Marion Jones has been moved from a federal prison in Fort Worth and will serve the remainder of her sentence in San Antonio.

The disgraced Olympic star was sentenced to six months in prison in January for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.

Jones also was ordered to do 400 hours of community service in each of the two years following her release.

Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley says Jones was transferred to a community corrections center in San Antonio on Tuesday.

The Dallas Morning News reported Friday the transfer is part of the process toward the Sept. 5 scheduled release of Jones. She entered prison in early March.

President Bush has not acted on requests, on behalf of Jones, to commute her sentence.

Jones repeatedly denied that she used performance-enhancing drugs, then admitted last October she lied to investigators in November 2003.
