A recently released state prison inmate faces a return to prison after admitting Monday in Jefferson County Court that he twice possessed controlled substances while incarcerated.

Louie E. Rodriguez,28, Bronx, pleaded guilty to fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He is expected to be sentenced May 16 to two years in prison, followed by an additional year of supervision upon his release.

He entered his plea to fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance using a partial Alford plea, meaning he did not admit to all of the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of receiving a stiffer sentence if found guilty at trial.

He admitted that he possessed Suboxone Sept. 13 while incarcerated at Watertown Correctional Facility, but denied that he intended to sell it or give it to other inmates, as prosecutors alleged. He also admitted that he possessed amphetamines Dec. 17 at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, where he was being booked in on the earlier charge.

He was serving a sentence of up to 18 months for fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, but was released from state custody Dec. 17.
