William Hunt, Contraband Possession, Pennsylvania 2019

An inmate at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Bradford, Pennsylvania has been sentenced to 3 months in jail for possession of contraband in prison. William Hunt, 37, pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced by United States District Judge David S. Cercone.

The sentence was imposed to run consecutively to the sentence Hunt is currently serving. This means that Hunt will have to serve the additional 3 months after completing his current sentence.

According to information presented to the court, on or about June 11, 2019, Hunt was in possession of contraband, namely a quantity of synthetic cannabinoid NM2201 while an inmate at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution. This is a serious offense, as contraband possession can pose a significant threat to the safety and security of the prison environment.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul S. Sellers on behalf of the government. Sellers presented the evidence against Hunt, which led to his conviction and sentencing.

United States Attorney Scott W. Brady commended the officers of the McKean Federal Correctional Institution and the Pennsylvania State Police for their investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Hunt. The cooperation between these agencies was instrumental in bringing Hunt to justice and ensuring that he is held accountable for his actions.

The sentencing of William Hunt serves as a reminder that possession of contraband in prison is a serious offense that will not be tolerated. The federal government will continue to work to prevent and prosecute such crimes, in order to maintain the safety and security of our prisons and communities.

In addition to the 3-month sentence, Hunt will also have to serve the remainder of his current sentence. The total length of time that Hunt will spend in prison will depend on the specifics of his current sentence, but it is clear that he will be serving a significant amount of time behind bars.

The case against William Hunt is just one example of the many efforts being made by law enforcement agencies to combat crime and keep our communities safe. By working together and sharing resources, these agencies are able to investigate and prosecute crimes more effectively, and bring those who break the law to justice.
