The former King County Jail guard is accused of taking bribes to bring meth and fentanyl into the facility for two inmates., Mosses Ramos of Milton worked as a correctional officer for 17 years until he was fired in September. Between March and May, Ramos allegedly accepted bribes to bring methamphetamine and fentanyl into the jail for two inmates who remain incarcerated: Michael Anthony Barquet, 37, and Francisco Montero, 25.
