WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A federal judge sent former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to jail Tuesday after prosecutors said he was trying to influence potential jurors.

He is to be held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the federal lockup located next to One Police Plaza, headquarters of the New York Police Department.
