Sheriff's office makes arrests in methamphetamine investigation

NICE, Calif. – Two people were arrested on drug charges this week as part of an ongoing investigation that the Lake County Sheriff's Office said Thursday could yield still more arrests.

 

Capt. James Bauman said the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force conducted a probation search in Nice Wednesday afternoon, resulting in two arrests and a significant seizure of suspected methamphetamine.

 

The names of the arrestees were being withheld pending further investigation, Bauman said.

 

He said the search, which took place at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, was conducted on a singlewide mobile home in Nice.

 

He said two people were detained without incident while the home was searched.

 

Both subjects were found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and more suspected methamphetamine, as well as evidence of sales, was located in the home during the probation search, Bauman said.

 

Bauman said the incident resulted in two felony arrests for possession of a controlled substance and possession for sales, as well as the seizure of more than 16 grams of suspected methamphetamine.

 

Investigators anticipate additional arrests relating to the case, which is one of the reasons for not divulging the arrestees' names at this point, Bauman said.
