Inmate concealed handcuff key in mouth

WILKES-BARRE — A man apprehended on a judge’s bench warrant was found concealing a handcuff key inside his mouth.

William Joseph Breha, 46, was picked up by Wilkes-Barre police on a bench warrant and taken to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on Jan. 21, according to court records.

During the intake process, Breha was body-scanned, revealing a key concealed in his mouth, court records say.

The key was identified as a handcuff key.

Breha was arraigned Wednesday by District Judge Thomas Malloy of Wilkes-Barre on a charge of inmate in possession of contraband or weapon. He remained jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $100,000 bail.

A county judge issued what is called a capias warrant, or bench warrant, for failing to appear for a sentencing hearing on drug trafficking and criminal conspiracy charges on Nov. 27.
