ANCHORAGE — Former state Rep. Vic Kohring turned himself over to federal marshals Monday morning in Anchorage after spending three hours waving goodbye to rush-hour commuters along the side of the Glenn Highway.



Kohring’s surrender begins a transfer process that will shuttle him from Anchorage to a federal facility in the Seattle area, said Randy Johnson of the U.S. Marshal’s Office. From there, he will stay in federal custody as he is transported to his final destination, a federal prison in Taft, Calif., about 120 miles north of Los Angeles, to serve his 42-month sentence.

Johnson said Kohring will be shackled whenever he is moved as any other prisoner would be. He will also travel with other prisoners while en route to Taft.
