KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Missouri woman has been indicted after she allegedly tried to have cell phones smuggled into a federal prison in Kansas.
Karilyn Primeau, 47, of Smithville, Missouri, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to bribe a public official, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister announced Thursday.
Primaeu is married to an inmate at the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks in Leavenworth. The indictment alleges she paid a guard to smuggle cell phones into the prison for inmates to use.
If convicted, Primeau could face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
