A district judge added 24 additional months to an FCI-Greenville inmate’s sentence for possessing a makeshift weapon.
Raekwon M. Patton, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of contraband in prison.
On June 29, 2024, a correctional officer at FCI-Greenville conducted a pat search on Patton and discovered a makeshift weapon in his waistband. The weapon was a sharp, pointed piece of metal, approximately 7.5 inches in length and affixed to a wooden handle wrapped in a black cord.
In June 2024, Patton was serving a 300-month sentence at FCI-Greenville in Greenville, Illinois.
FBI Springfield led the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney David Dean prosecuted the case.
