JUDGE REVOKES EX-PITCHER'S PROBATION

Former New York Yankees pitcher Ken Clay, already spending a year in Bedford County's jail, was sentenced Wednesday to another three years behind bars in neighboring Campbell County.

Clay, who played in two World Series, was convicted last year of stealing from the Bedford County car dealership where he worked.

The Bedford conviction landed Clay back in Campbell County Circuit Court - where the 37-year-old Lynchburg native had been convicted of stealing in 1987.

That year, Clay had pleaded guilty to two counts of grand larceny for stealing more than $16,000 from a ring distributor when he was a salesman for a Campbell County company.

A Campbell County judge Wednesday revoked three years of a four-year term of probation Clay had received on the 1987 conviction, according to prosecutor Neil Vener.
