SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A former Pennsylvania county jail counselor has been charged with trying to extort money from inmates and has agreed to plead guilty. Online federal court records show 52-year-old Louis Elmy, of Wilkes-Barre, was also arrested Thursday on a federal charge of possessing a firearm in furtherance of selling crack cocaine. A plea agreement, calling for a minimum five-year prison sentence, was filed Thursday, too. Federal prosecutors say Elmy fudged official orders while working as a work-release counselor at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in Wilkes-Barre. They say Elmy did that to extort "money and other items of value from work release inmates in exchange for giving them special privileges and unauthorized furloughs." Prosecutors say Elmy sought money from inmates to ease his own financial problems. Elmy's attorney hasn't commented.
