SANTA CRUZ, Calif. –
Santa Cruz surfing legend Anthony Ruffo, 48, is out of the ocean and in a jail cell serving a two-year sentence for selling methamphetamine.
Ruffo has been in jail for less than a month, but he has already created waves inside the Santa Cruz County Jail’s Watsonville facility on Rountree Lane.
The well-known surfer posed for several photos inside the jail with fellow inmates. They are all sporting jail-issued inmate pants with “Santa Cruz County Jail” printed down the side.
Ruffo’s friend uploaded the photos onto the surfer’s Facebook wall.
