ALEXANDRIA, La. – United States Attorney Alexander C. Van
Hook announced that a Pollock prisoner pleaded guilty last week to possessing a
knife.
Eric Judy Blair, 40, a Pollock prisoner, pleaded guilty
Friday before U.S. District Judge Dee D. Drell to one count of possessing
contraband in a prison. According to the guilty plea, prison guards were
observing inmates going through a metal detector during a random search on June
11, 2017 at the U.S. Penitentiary at Pollock, La. When Blair could not clear
the metal detector, he entered a second time and failed again. During a pat
down, guards found a homemade metal knife approximately six and one-half inches
long.
Blair faces up to five years in prison, one year of
supervised release and a $250,000 fine. The court set sentencing for May 18,
2018.
The FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons-Special Investigative
Services conducted the investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David J. Ayo is prosecuting the case.
