HOUSTON, TEXAS (AP) -- 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 last night.

A different urine monitor was charged with bribery in May for allegedly taking $200 to submit a fake drug test form.
