Greenville FCI inmate pleads to possession of ice pick

Antonio M. Green, 26, pleaded guilty on Aug. 17 to an indictment charging him with possession of contraband by a federal inmate.

The charge arose when, on April 4, 2016, a correctional officer at the Federal Correctional Institution in Greenville performed a random shakedown of Green’s cell and found a 7-inch, ice pick-style weapon with a handle in his locker. Green admitted the weapon was his, stating that he had it for his own protection.

Johnson faces a term of imprisonment of not more than five years. Green’s sentence must be served consecutively to the sentence he is currently serving. Green’s sentencing has been scheduled for Dec. 2 in East St. Louis.
