West Mifflin Man Pleads Guilty to Escape Charge

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court on October 30, 2024, to a charge of escape, United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced today.

Jamiel Green, 27, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon.

In connection with the guilty plea, the Court was advised that Green was serving the final portion of his sentence for violating federal firearm laws at a residential reentry center designed to transition inmates back into society when he was given permission to leave the facility temporarily and was due to return on November 2, 2023. Green did not return as directed and absconded until, several months later, the U.S. Marshals Service arrested him.

Judge Bissoon scheduled sentencing for March 6, 2025. The law provides for a maximum total sentence of up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Under the federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history of the defendant.

Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.

The U.S. Marshals Service conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Green.
