Former Hamilton County Sheriff Billy Long won't see a reduction in his 11 year federal prison sentence.

An appeals court upheld the sentence after Long requested another reduction.

The former sheriff pleaded guilty to extortion, money laundering, providing a firearm to a felon, and cocaine possession in 2008.
Unless Long decides to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, he'll be released from prison in 2019.
