Ex-jailer hears bars slam behind him

The Arizona Daily Star

As a prison guard, Brett M. Riddle likely saw hundreds of inmates stripped of their belts and shoelaces as they entered custody. On Friday, he became one of them.

The former Arizona Department of Corrections officer will spend seven months on the other side of the bars, now a prisoner himself after being sentenced Friday in connection with an FBI corruption sting.

"You will certainly want to let them (prison officials) know that you worked for the Department of Corrections, for your own protection," U.S. District Court Judge Cindy K. Jorgenson told Riddle, who moments later removed his belt and shoelaces as U.S. marshals prepared to take him away.
