WICHITA, Kan. — A contract kitchen worker has been arrested on suspicion of bringing contraband into the Sedgwick County jail, authorities said Tuesday.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that it received information concerning the worker on Monday.

Its investigation determined that probable cause existed to arrest 42-year-old Natalie Willis for one count each of possession of hallucinogenic drugs, trafficking contraband and possession of a controlled substance.

Willis was employed by Summit Food Service, the sheriff's office said.

Contract employees go through a background check before they allowed to work inside the detention facility.
