WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania – A federal grand jury indicted Jeffery Wood, 26, for possessing a sharpened plastic shank at the Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood (FCI Allenwood), according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The alleged crime took place on April 19, 2020, and Wood faces a maximum of five years of incarceration and a fine if convicted.
The charges stem from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Wood is presumed innocent until found guilty in court.
Special Assistant United States Attorney Drew O. Inman and Assistant United States Attorney George J. Rocktashel are handling the case.
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Wood’s case is one of the many instances where the FBI has worked with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to prevent contraband from entering prisons and maintaining public safety.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that those who break it are held accountable.
A criminal indictment is only an allegation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
