FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — In what could be the hardest fall from grace in Broward County’s political history, Ken Jenne, the former sheriff and once the most powerful man in the county, will spend the next 10 months in federal prison.

The 60-year-old Democrat was sentenced Friday to a year and a day in prison, ending a two-year public corruption investigation. With time off for good behavior, he could be free by September. He must pay a $3,000 fine and will be on supervised release, similar to probation, for another year after he is freed.
