A Cook County Jail cook has been charged with smuggling marijuana into the jail for an inmate.

Cook County sheriff's police said Ivan Garcia, 22, of Huntley, was paid by a relative or friend of an inmate to smuggled pot and tobacco into the jail and deliver it while working in the jail cafeteria.

After receiving a tip about Garcia, an undercover operation was conducted by the sheriff's internal affairs division. On Oct. 16, an undercover officer approached Garcia and, in a videotape, he's shown accepting $500 in exchange for smuggling an ounce of marijuana into the jail, the sheriff's office said.

After the transaction, Garcia was arrested, authorities said. He's been charged with felony possession of cannabis with intent to deliver, and is free on $30,000 bond.

Garcia works as supervisor of cooks for Aramark, a jail contractor.
