HUTCHINSON – A Kansas teen entered a guilty plea in Reno County Court on Wednesday in a conspiracy to traffic contraband into the Hutchinson Correctional Facility.

Kevin Wilson, 19, serving time in prison for numerous burglary and theft convictions, admitted that between Dec. 19, 2014, and Jan. 13 of this year, he attempted to introduce items into the prison that are forbidden.

It was not the usual drugs or tobacco products, but things like cell phones and cash.

He admitted that he conspired with another inmate 46-year-old Bryant Colbert to commit the crimes.

After Wilson admitted guilt, he apologized for his actions, but not to the court or the prosecutor. He apologized to the prison investigators who were present in the courtroom.

Sentencing is scheduled for November 6.

His co-defendant Colbert is serving time for aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated burglary and rape from Montgomery County. His case is pending.

Wilson is now being housed at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility.
