Maryland prison officials have accused a 22-year-old correctional officer of trying to smuggle marijuana and tobacco into the Roxbury Correctional Institution near Hagerstown.

The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services says Krista Blank, of Mount Savage in Allegany County, planned to deliver the contraband to inmates at the medium-security institution.

The agency says alert work by other correctional officers and an internal intelligence unit led to the discovery of the contraband inside a staff restroom at the prison.
