Guy Trying To Play ‘Prison Santa’ Arrested In Ohio

Source: A man bearing gifts visited an Ohio prison on Christmas Eve, but it wasn’t Santa Claus.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that someone approached the Richland Correctional Institution around 9 a.m. Sunday and tried to throw four packages containing tobacco, cellphones and marijuana over the fence.

WEWS-TV in Cleveland reports troopers caught up with the man a short time later.

They arrested 21-year-old Avery Ingram, whose home city was not identified.

Ingram faces charges of illegal conveyance of drugs onto the grounds of an institution, illegal conveyance of electronics onto the grounds of an institution and criminal trespassing.

Another holiday slow clap is in order.

Give this guy some credit, he was just trying to spread some Christmas cheer. Maybe next time he could send it through the mail, maybe inside a fruitcake or something. 

Throwing it over the fence in broad daylight wasn’t the smartest of moves, but we do love his compassion and how caring this ‘Prison Santa’ appears to be.

Hopefuly the Judge will still be in the Holiday Spirit once the case kicks off.

‘Prison Santa’ for the win.
