A woman has pleaded not guilty to drug supply and possession charges after she was allegedly found trying to smuggle methamphetamine and opiate painkillers into a country jail.

Jessikka Elemes, 32, failed in her attempt to be released on bail while facing Dubbo Local Court on Monday on six charges.

Police allege they were called to Wellington jail on Sunday morning after receiving reports a woman was attempting to bring drugs into the facility.

“Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were told a 32-year-old woman allegedly attempted to bring in methylamphetamine and buprenorphine strips on her way into visit a person when a drug detection dog gave a positive indication,” police said in a statement.

Elemes was taken to Wellington police station where she was charged with two counts each of possessing a prohibited drug, supplying a prohibited drug, and bringing a prohibited drug/plant into place of detention.
