BLUEFIELD — Five federal inmates pleaded guilty Wednesday to possessing weapons at the Federal Correctional Institution at McDowell, United States Attorney Carol Casto said. As part of separate prosecutions, Scott Finnell, 29, Misael Santana-Rivera, 32, Antonio R. Azpeitia, 40, Ernest Shields, 42, and Diego Ninos, 30, entered their guilty pleas to possession of a weapon by an inmate of the institution, Casto said. Casto said each inmate admitted to possessing a handcrafted weapon, commonly referred to as a “shank.” This year, from March until June, the weapons were either observed or discovered through searches by staff members of the Federal Correctional Institution at McDowell. Casto said the objects were made out of a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, and wood, and were sharpened to a point at one end. The inmates all admitted that the shanks were designed and intended to be used as weapons. Read More. |
