Former guard convicted of lying to marshal
PITTSBURGH — A former Pennsylvania prison guard has been found guilty of lying to U.S. marshals about his brother’s whereabouts.
Federal jurors in Pittsburgh convicted 43-year-old Ralph Currington on Wednesday of three counts of making false statements to law enforcement.
Authorities were looking for Currington’s brother on a heroin trafficking charge. Currington allegedly told marshals he hadn’t seen his brother since 2012.
But prosecutors say his brother had stayed with him within two weeks.
