Christopher Greer Hid Phone In Jail In His Prosthetic Leg

A detective in Fayette County, Penn., says Christopher Greer, who is serving six months in a southwestern Pennsylvania county jail, illegally hid a cellphone and charger in his prosthetic leg.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A county detective says a man serving six months in a southwestern Pennsylvania county jail illegally hid a cellphone and charger in his prosthetic leg.

Twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Greer, of Uniontown, faces a preliminary hearing May 22 on a contraband charge filed last week by a Fayette County detective.

The detective says the phone was found during a search of Greer's cell on Feb. 23.

Greer was sentenced to jail after he was convicted in March of driving with a suspended license. Inmates are not allowed to bring their own phones into the jail.

Greer's public defender did not immediately return a call for comment Monday.

The Fayette County Prison is about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.

He shouldnt be charged, because the CO's fell down on the job by not proper searching him prior to him intering the facility.
