On Wednesday, deputies from the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office arrested an inmate at the Steuben County Jail following an incident involving property damage and prohibited items.
Nicholas Harrison, 22, of West Morris Street in Bath, was allegedly found to have damaged jail property and was in possession of a prohibited dangerous device. Harrison, who was already incarcerated at the facility at the time of the incident, faces charges of Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree and Promoting Prison Contraband in the First Degree, which is a class D felony.
Harrison was arraigned in the Centralized Arraignment Court. Following the proceedings, he was returned to the Steuben County Jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
