Former Danbury FCI inmate pleads guilty to contraband charge

A former Danbury Federal Correctional Institution worker has pleaded guilty to providing contraband in prison.  38-year old Eric Williams of Danbury worked in the Food Service Department.  According to court documents, Williams tried to smuggle four cell phones and an electric beard trimmer into the prison in July 2017 by hiding the items in his hat as he entered the facility through the staff entrance.  When a corrections officer screened him for admission, Williams aborted the effort and left his hat, with the contraband, inside the entrance area.  A supervisor found the hat and questioned Williams, who denied it was his.  He was arrested last July and was released on bond.  Williams faces up to 6 months in prison and a fine of up to 5-thousand dollars when he is sentenced at a future date.
