A man who refused to have his luggage inspected at the San Francisco airport on grounds it contained a sex toy was arrested when authorities found several thousand dollars worth of marijuana inside his bags, police said.
Sgt. Joe Reilly of the San Francisco Police Department’s airport bureau said Kenneth Castor, 39, was arrested Jan. 3 after trying to carry two duffel bags with him on board a flight to Honolulu.
Guards at the airport’s security checkpoint spotted something unusual in the X-ray scan of his bags and asked to search them, but Castor refused. The guards called police after Castor grabbed his bags and marched back through the metal detector toward the ticketing area.
Reilly said police found Castor trying to check his bags at the airline ticket counter, where he declined to have them X-rayed because he said they included a sex toy. A search of the bags turned up 10 pounds of marijuana, Reilly said.
Police found no sex toy in Castor’s bags.
