2 Charged After Bringing Drugs Into Delco Prison: DA

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Two men are accused of bringing drugs into Delaware County's George W. Hill Correctional Facility in two separate, unrelated incidents on different days, the District Attorney's Office said.

On Friday, Delaware County District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland said William Ross Miller, 33, and Daniel Gregory, 34, are both facing contraband changes for bringing drugs into prison.

On Jan. 10, William Miller was being committed to the facility when prison staff got word that he was in possession of contraband, according to the DA's office.

At approximately 1 p.m., Sergeant Darold Williams and Corrections Officer Christopher Clyde strip searched Miller. While taking his leg from his pants, Williams noticed miller holding something in his right hand and gave orders to turn over the item, the DA's office said.

Miller ignored the commands and then attempted to place the item in his mouth, according to the DA's office. Officers later got the item from Miller, which was identified as ten Suboxone pills, the DA's office said.

Then on Jan. 22 while serving a domestic relation warrant at an Upper Darby home for Gregory, police found an unknown substance in a clear plastic bag in his jacket pocket, the DA's office said.

Gregory was taken to the facility and was searched, which led officers to find contraband on him, according to the DA's office.

Authorities said Gregory had a clear plastic bag containing orange, blue, and yellow pills, all of which were later confirmed as Alprazolam and Buprenorphine Hydrochloride.
