Inmate Pleads Guilty To Making Terroristic Threats

An inmate who was housed in the Washington County Jail pleaded guilty to a terroristic threats charge on Thursday. John Lazear, 39 appeared in plea court via video from SCI Camp Hill. He was also accused of interception of communications and conspiracy interception of communications but those charges were dismissed. Lazear and his then attorney Kimberly Furmanek were communicating using several cell phones in the Washington County Jail while Furmanek was discussing Lazear’s case with his new attorney James Jefferies. Lazear was accused of making threats to Jefferies on a later phone call. Lazear is already serving a 15-40 year sentence in state prison for multiple charges of drug and weapon possession from a plea agreement in January of this year. He will serve three years probation on the terroristic threats charge concurrent to the existing sentence.
