Inmate sentenced to additional prison time for trying to obtain contraband

An inmate at the Sandstone Federal Correctional Institution was sentenced to additional prison time for trying to obtain contraband.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said 46-year-old Curtis Brent Carico was given three extra months in federal prison for trying to get a controlled substance. He previously pleaded guilty to the charge in September.

According to his guilty plea, Carico conspired with a co-defendant to have a magazine mailed to him that contained a page that’d been soaked with liquid synthetic cannabinoid, a prohibited Schedule I controlled substance.
