A Michigan man was arrested earlier this week after he allegedly threw a football stuffed with cell phones and drugs over a state prison fence.

Christen Deon-Sterling Moore, of Detroit, made an effort to throw the packed ball into the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility exercise yard Sunday, reports the New York Daily News.

The 22-year-old was charged with two counts of furnishing contraband to a prisoner in prison and one count of furnishing a cell phone to a prisoner, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot.

Moore was seen throwing a football over, but it landed between two fences and never made it to the exercise yard.

Authorities say the ball was stuffed with marijuana, suspected heroin, three cellphones and chargers.

Moore is being held on $50,000 bond at the Jackson County Jail.
