An Antioch woman who worked as a correctional officer in Milpitas was arrested on suspicion of smuggling drugs into jail on behalf of inmates, authorities said.

Mayra Rios, 35, was arrested following an investigation that started in April when authorities “received information” that a correctional deputy was smuggling methamphetamine into the Elmwood Correctional Facility, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.
