The new charges against James King allege the involvement of a Lycoming County female prison guard who has been terminated.
WILLIAMSPORT – A Montour County man sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine is facing more charges related to his conduct in jail.
The federal drug case stemmed from a package shipped from Hanford, California, to an address in Mifflinburg in October 2019 that contained 413 grams of methamphetamine valued at $20,000. In the latter case that was prosecuted in West Virginia, he was accused of participating in five bank robberies in Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia between July 29 and Sept. 11, 2003.
The pending charges against King stem from an investigation initiated in late June by county prison Warden Brad Shoemaker after learning of an inappropriate relationship between the inmate and a female corrections officer. When interviewed, Katzmaier is alleged to have admitted buying a paid-up phone that is difficult to trace for herself so King could call her. She claimed another guard provided the phone King used, the charges state.
