SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
A South Texas jailer has been accused of smuggling drugs to inmates.
Bexar (bayr) County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau says 22-year-old Deputy Termaine (tur-MAYN') Elliott was arrested Friday at work in San Antonio.
Pamerleau says undercover investigators believe Elliott was transporting drugs and other contraband to inmates. She declined to identify what drugs were involved, including some confiscated from Elliott when he was arrested.
Elliott joined the sheriff's department in February and was assigned to the Bexar County Adult Detention Center. He's charged with bribery and possession of controlled substances in a correctional facility.
The sheriff did not immediately release bond or custody details for Elliott, or information on an attorney to speak on his behalf.
If convicted, Elliott faces up to 20 years in each felony count.
