Pierce County man took bribes, smuggled drugs into King County Jail. He's been sentenced

A former King County jail guard was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 102 months in prison for accepting a bribe to smuggle methamphetamine and fentanyl pills into the facility.

Mosses Ramos, 40 of Milton, pleaded guilty in May to bribery and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

Inmates Michael Anthony Barquet, 37, and Francisco Montero, 25, paid Ramos $5,000 in exchange for about a pound of meth and 100 fentanyl pills between March and May last year, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington in a news release.

The men remain incarcerated. Barquet is facing trial in King County for a double homicide, according to the release, and Montero has a trial for drug and bribery charges scheduled to begin in April 2025.
