Sheriff’s officials in Adams County say 22-year old Jacob Jones, of Corning, was arrested today (Thursday) on a felony charge of Possessing contraband inside a jail, and a simple misdemeanor charge of Interference with official acts. His bond was set at $5,000.

On Wednesday, Jones was escorted into the Adams County Sheriff’s Office with his Probation Officer, for the purpose of conducting a random urine test. Once inside the jail, Jones allegedly attempted to pour clean urine from a bottle that he had concealed on his person, into the urine test cup, in an attempt to alter the test results.

Deputies noticed Jones’ attempt and seized the bottle before any liquid could be poured into the test cup.
