LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport man was arrested last week for smoking marijuana at the Lake County Fair with a minor.

Jesse Matthew Chavez, 24, was arrested for felony selling/furnishing marijuana, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and felony parole violation on the night of Friday, Sept. 2, according to Michelle Gonzalez of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Matthews, who is on parole, was sharing a marijuana joint with a minor when apprehended by Lake County Sheriff’s Narcotic Task Force detectives, Gonzalez said.

A subsequent search of Chavez turned up a green glass smoking pipe, with burnt marijuana residue inside, two lighters, and a plastic bag with a green leafy substance identified as marijuana, in his pockets. Gonzalez said Chavez did not have a medical marijuana recommendation.

He was arrested and transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility. He remained in custody on Thursday due to a no-bail hold on the parole violation, according to jail records.
