EBENSBURG, Pa. —






A Cambria County Jail inmate has learned the hard way that inmate phone calls are recorded.

Cambria County Judge Norman Krumenacker doubled the bail of Carl Harris after the judge learned the suspect had called his girlfriend from jail and tried to get her to change her story about injuries to their 8-week-old son.

The Tribune-Democrat reports the 20-year-old Johnstown man is charged with aggravated assault and other counts. Police said he broke the baby's leg because the child wouldn't stop crying on Aug. 15.

Harris' attorney couldn't immediately be reached Wednesday.

Krumenacker learned of the calls when Harris' attorney asked Tuesday for his $75,000 bail to be lowered so he could get out of jail pending trial. Instead, the judge raised the bail to $150,000.
