FAYETTE Co., PENNSYLVANIA – A cook at the Fayette County Prison allegedly confessed to having a two-month sexual relationship with an inmate, state police said.
Michelle Ann Clark, a contract employee through The Nutrition Group, gave a state trooper a two-page written statement, which said she had sex with the male inmate 10 to 15 times in the basement of the Uniontown lockup while she was on duty.
Prison officials also turned over a compact disc to Trooper Charles Morrison that contained collect phone calls that the inmate, Cedric L. Greer Sr., made to Clark between Dec. 1 and Jan. 2.
On Friday, police charged Clark, 39, of 9 N. Washington St., Masontown, with institutional sexual assault, a third-degree felony.
The incidents, which Morrison said were consensual, allegedly occurred between Nov. 1 and Dec. 30.
Morrison said an arrest warrant was issued. Prison officials were not immediately available yesterday to ascertain Clark’s work status.
Greer, 32, of Lemont Furnace, was sentenced Dec. 19 to serve a total of 6 to 24 months for three cases, including one in which he broke into his wife’s Uniontown home and assaulted her until he could take $107 from her bra, according to court records.
Greer also pleaded guilty last year to driving under the influence of cocaine and smashing the window of a motorcycle shop to take a petty cash box containing $278.
Morrison learned about the jailhouse tryst through an investigation by police, prosecutors and prison officials into the flow of drugs into the prison.
On Dec. 8, corrections officers allegedly discovered that a homicide defendant had marijuana, tobacco and a shank in his cell. Charges will be filed against that inmate for the drugs, Morrison said.
From there, authorities have found links to other inmates, Morrison said.
“More than likely, there are going to be more arrests in that case,” he said. “I’m in the process of putting together the whole chain of who gave it to who.”
