A PRISONER, due to be released shortly, has been given more jail time for having an unauthorised SIM card.

Robert Mullen, 26, appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court by video-link from prison last week.

He admitted that on December 26, at HMP Glenochil he was in possession of an unauthorised SIM card.

The court was told that Mullen was due to be released from his current term on May 11.

Sheriff Neil Bowie told Mullen: "You would be well aware of the rules."

He jailed Mullen for four months to run consecutively to his current sentence.
