Ex-guard pleads guilty
A former prison guard has pleaded guilty to receiving a $2,000 bribe to smuggle contraband into the Federal Correctional Institution in El Reno. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Friday 55-year-old Randall Sorrells faces up to 15 years in prison plus a $250,000 fine

when he’s formally sentenced in about 90 days. A federal grand jury indicted Sorrells in May,

accusing him of violating his official duty as a guard by accepting the money on Dec. 19. Authorities didn’t specify what type of contraband was involved.
