James Matuke, no known address, charged with smuggling drugs into county prison.

An inmate is accused of smuggling heroin into Butler County Prison.

James T. “Tony” Matuke III, 29, was arraigned Thursday on a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance by an inmate.

Prison officers July 20 found eight stamp bags and four empty bags of suspected heroin within legal papers that were on Matuke's bunk in a cell in the restricted housing unit, according to court documents.

The defendant was booked into the jail after county probation officers arrested him with suspected heroin at a house where he had been staying.
