Wed Nov 4, 3:28 PM ET

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Reuters) - Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was released from jail Wednesday after serving most of a 15 month sentence for taking bribes to provide tips on games.

Donaghy left the Hernando County jail in Brooksville on Wednesday morning, according to an assistant in the warden's office. She said she had no information on where Donaghy went.

Donaghy, 42, was sentenced in 2008 after he pleaded guilty to the charges. He served 13 months of his sentence.
