Hartford Inmate Fabricated Evidence: DCJ

HARTFORD, CT — A Hartford inmate was charged with altering documents after he made threatening phone calls from behind bars, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice.

Junior Jumpp, 38, altered documents he obtained from the Department of Correction to try and show that he couldn't have made threatening phone calls, according to the DCJ. He submitted the documents in a recent criminal trial where he is being charged with violating a protective order.

Jumpp was charged with fabricated physical evidence and second-degree forgery. Both are felonies punishable by up to five years in prison.
