( CNN ) -- It has to be difficult to outfit a fishing expedition when you 're in jail . A pair of incarcerated anglers in Florida had to find a line they could cast six stories down , plus an accomplice outside to put marijuana and tobacco on their hook . It may have been the alleged accomplice 's fault that they had to try to reel in the goodies in a flimsy plastic grocery bag . But all three of them got into trouble when the bag and the contraband were discovered hanging outside the fourth floor of the Pinellas County jail . The sheriff 's office said it charged three men this week with introducing contraband into the jail . The plan , a sheriff 's statement said , was for inmates Mark Matthew Keating , 45 , and Phillip William Henderson , 38 , to drop a nylon rope from the jail 's sixth-floor recreation yard . Outside the jail , the alleged accomplice attached 29 grams of marijuana worth $ 1,500 , tobacco products and lighters , the sheriff 's office said . Authorities arrested Eric Scott Snook , 41 , on charges that he was the accomplice . After the bag was discovered Monday night , authorities erected a six-foot fence in the area on the ground where the bag was attached . Pals of suburban mom help her make bail in pot case .
