The first of six Philadelphia prison guards ensnared in an FBI sting pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court.

George Kindle, 29, admitted that he smuggled drugs and a cellphone into the House of Corrections for prisoners. In exchange, Kindle, who spent seven years as a Philadelphia corrections officer, received payments that totaled $2,000.

Kindle pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted extortion and attempted distribution of controlled substances.
