A Bronx man pleaded guilty in Cayuga County Court Tuesday to possessing a stabbing-type weapon in Auburn Correctional Facility Sept. 1, 2006.
Antonio Pedraza, 39, pleaded guilty to the felony of attempted possession of dangerous contraband. Pedraza's plea satisfied two charges of first-degree possession of dangerous contraband that he possessed two shanks in ACF.

Pedraza was discharged from Southport Correctional Facility after his sentence maxed out. He was serving two to four years for a Bronx County conviction of the felonies of first-degree attempted promotion of prison contraband and fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

Pedraza also previously served two to four years for the New York County felony conviction of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

Pedraza is currently held in the Cayuga County Jail at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. Sentencing was scheduled for June 5.

Livingston County Court Judge Robert B. Wiggins substituted for Cayuga County Surrogate Judge Mark Fandrich, who is recovering from surgery.
