Urine Monitor Faces Bribary Charge



A second Harris County employee is accused of accepting bribes to provide clean urine to defendants out on bail.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Devine said 45-year-old Jorge Alfonso Campble was arrested Wednesday on charges of bribery and tampering with evidence.
The Houston Chronicle reported Campble was caught after investigators set up a sting with marked money, video recording equipment and a 23-year-old defendant on bail for possession of marijuana.
A call to Campble's court-appointed attorney, James Brooks, by The Associated Press was not immediately successful Thursday night.
A different urine monitor was charged with bribery in May for allegedly taking $200 to submit a fake drug test form.
