The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man suspected of trying to bring illegal drugs and other contraband into the jail earlier this week.
On Tuesday at about 8 p.m., San Jose resident Brian Siordia, 27, entered the Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City to visit someone who was incarcerated there. Siordia had previously been incarcerated in San Mateo County and was on felony probation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Siordia did not have approval to return to the jail and was not legally permitted to be at the facility, the Sheriff’s Office said, so when deputies saw him in the lobby, they promptly took him into custody.
During his arrest, deputies allegedly found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and a cellphone concealed in his shoe, none of which are allowed the jail.
Siordia was booked into the jail on suspicion of bringing a controlled substance into a jail facility, bringing a communication device into a jail, being in possession of a controlled substance, and for unauthorized presence of a former inmate on jail grounds.
