Pittsburgh Resident Sentenced to Additional Prison Time for Possessing Contraband as Inmate

Lajwan McMillan, 31, a resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was sentenced in federal court to an additional five months of incarceration on his conviction of possession of contraband by an inmate.

Three days after being sentenced to 18 months’ incarceration for violating the conditions of his federal supervised release and being sent back to prison, McMillan was found in possession of a cellular phone by officials at the Butler County Jail. Inmates in federal custody are prohibited by federal law from possessing cellular phones, and this criminal conduct is punishable by additional, consecutive time in prison.

Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.

United States Attorney Olshan commended the United States Marshals Service, Butler County Detective Bureau, and officials at the Butler County Jail for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of McMillan.
