Authorities found a cellphone hidden in a shower drain inside the prison after a woman told police she had been receiving threatening calls and text messages from a man locked up there, according to a magistrate's complaint filed in the Superior Court of Guam.
It's the second time in less than a year Gregory Lathiel Reese has been accused of making threatening calls from prison using a contraband phone.

Reese in October 2016 was charged with promoting prison contraband after authorities reportedly found him with a Samsung cellphone. He was in the prison's maximum security unit at the time, and reportedly was caught making a threatening call to his girlfriend while she was at the police station reporting him.
Reese on Friday was charged with advanced stalking, family violence, violating a court order and other charges after a woman told authorities he had been making harassing phone calls and text messages, despite having a restraining order against him.
The woman's complaint prompted authorities to search Reese's prison cell. No cellphones were found there, but authorities did find a cellphone hidden in a prison shower drain, the magistrate's complaint states. That phone was determined to have been used to place calls and send messages to the woman's phone, the complaint states.
News files state Reese in January 2015 was charged with aggravated assault, theft of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, family violence and possession and use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony.
