LEAVENWORTH —A Kansas woman was indicted on bribery charges Wednesday, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.
Karilyn Primeau, 47, Smithville, Mo., is charged with one count of conspiracy to bribe a public official.
The indictment alleges that Primeau, who is the wife of an inmate, paid a guard at the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks in Leavenworth, Kan., to smuggle cell phones into the facility for use by inmates.
If convicted, she could face up to five years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. The FBI investigated.
