A state prison worker is under arrest after authorities say she tried to smuggle drugs into William Donaldson Correctional Facility.

Jasmonique Ware, 30, of Hueytown, is charged with trafficking methamphetamine, unlawful possession of marijuana and promoting prison contraband.

Ware was a mental health worker at the west Jefferson County prison.

When Ware went to work on Thursday, correctional officers conducted a search. They found two packages on her and plastic bag with an unknown substance under the food in her bag.

The two packages contained five clear bags of marijuana and two clear bags of suspected methamphetamine.

Ware is an employee of YesCare, the health care services provider for the ADOC.

She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 10:08 p.m. Thursday and remains held on bonds totaling $45,000.
