HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 19-year-old man serving time in prison for numerous burglary and theft convictions was before Judge Trish Rose where he entered a plea of conspiracy to traffic contraband into the Hutchinson Correctional Facility.

Kevin Wilson was also charged with trafficking in contraband at the Hutchinson prison, but the state dropped that charge.

Wilson admitted that between Dec. 19, 2014, and Jan. 13 of this year, he attempted to introduce items into the prison not allowed. Interestingly, it’s not the usual drugs or tobacco products, but things like cell phones and cash.

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

Wilson is serving time for burglary and theft convictions out of Sedgwick and Butler Counties and, with the conviction, he could be looking at additional time in prison. Judge Trish Rose set sentencing for Nov. 6.

His co-defendant is serving time for aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated burglary and rape. Those convictions are all out of Montgomery County. He’s also charged in this case, but his case is still pending.

Wilson is now being housed at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility.
