A 27-year-old man was arrested and booked into jail Saturday after trying to deliver tobacco to his friends who already were in jail, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office reported Sunday.
Deputies said they first spotted the man riding a bicycle in front of the jail and confronted him. He held the handlebars with one hand and hid a black plastic bag behind his back with the other hand, deputies said.
Deputies checked the bag and said they found three porcelain Christmas ornaments filled with tobacco, which is considered contraband at the jail.
The man, Joshua Ketcham, told deputies he planned to drop off the tobacco so his friends could have it, deputies said. He was charged with two felony counts, which could land him in state prison.
Ketcham remained in the jail Sunday with bail set at $13,000. He is expected to appear for arraignment Tuesday in the Manteca branch of San Joaquin County Superior Court.
