Connor Sinann went to jail because he was arrested in Japan for allegedly carrying drugs in his luggage , even though he claims he did not know they were there.

What happened in Japan

  • Connor says a friend asked him to hold onto a small bag while he was trying to stay sober, and he later threw some clothes (including those pants) into his suitcase in a rush before flying to Japan.
  • When Japanese customs searched his bag upon arrival, they found the drugs and detained him immediately, leading to about 30 days in a Japanese detention/jail‑style facility , much of it in isolation.

Charges and outcome

  • He was reportedly facing 1–3 years in prison under Japan’s strict drug‑import laws, but after drug tests and investigation showed he had not used the substances and no evidence tied him to knowingly smuggling, he was released without a long‑term sentence.
  • Connor has since described the experience as a near‑disaster that cost him money, health, and major opportunities, and he now talks about it as a cautionary story about how quickly things can go wrong with drugs and travel.
