Greg Cvitkovich reported to prison in Ohio on Wednesday to begin a five-month sentence on tax-evasion charges. 

The former North Township trustee reported to the federal correctional institute in Elkton, Ohio, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. 

While many of the major figures sentenced in the recent federal corruption probes have been sent to Oxford, Wis., including Kevin Pastrick , son of the former East Chicago mayor, the 49-year-old Cvitkovich will spend his time in northern Ohio. 

The prison is 30 miles south of Youngstown and 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. 

According to the prison Web site, Elkton is a low-security prison, with a small minimum-security camp for male offenders. 

Cvitkovich was sentenced April 12 to five months in prison, after pleading guilty to one count of income-tax evasion. 

He had already stepped down as North Township trustee as part of a plea agreement. 

Cvitkovich must also pay $22,160 restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and a $2,000 fine, in addition to his prison time, followed by five months of home detention and a year of supervised release.
