Russell Grant, 32, a Denver halfway house worker, has pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to influence a public servant by trying to sell clean, drug-free urine to offenders on probation or parole.

Grant was ordered to serve two years of probation. He was busted in April at the Williams Street Center after an undercover officer posing as a parolee gave Grant $180 in exchange for a clean urine sample, police said.

The district attorney, the state Department of Corrections and the Metro Gang Task Force began investigating in 2006 whether Grant was selling samples to residents on parole or probation who were ordered to undergo urinalysis screening.
