An Atlanta lawyer has been sentenced to five years in prison for smuggling a 14-inch saw blade to a jailed client.

Jurors convicted lawyer William Keenan last week of providing an inmate with a dangerous weapon, WALB News reports. However, a Fulton County Daily Report story on the sentence mentions a plea agreement.

Keenan is the son for former Albany, Ga., mayor Paul Keenan, the WALB story says.
