Former Honolulu city councilman Rod Tam is behind bars.

KHON reported that Tam turned himself in at District Court Friday morning to begin serving his two-day prison sentence. He will be released New Year’s Day.

He also had to perform more than 300 hours of community service as part of his sentence.
