(KNZA)--A former guard at the federal prison in Leavenworth is accused of accepting bribes for smuggling tobacco into the prison.
Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says 46-year-old Marc Buckner, of Kansas City, Kansas, was indicted Wednesday on one count of accepting bribes.
Beall says the indictment alleges that from 2005 to 2014 while Buckner worked at the prison he accepted more than $200,000 in bribes. He allegedly received about $750 from inmates each time he smuggled tobacco into the prison.
If convicted, Buckner faces up to 15 years in federal prison and a fine up to three times the value of the contraband. The FBI investigated.
