LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The service of a search warrant by the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force Tuesday evening has resulted in one arrest and the seizure of 56.7 grams of methamphetamine.
Detectives arrested 31-year-old Christin Jean Kukar of Clearlake for alleged possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sale and transportation of a controlled substance, according to Sgt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On Monday narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for Kukar's person, home and vehicle, Brooks said.
Then on Tuesday at 9 p.m. narcotics detectives conducted an enforcement stop of Kukar’s vehicle on Highway 20 near Clearlake Oaks, Brooks said. Kukar, 26-year-old Brandie Lea Meyer of Clearlake Oaks and a 14-year-old minor were occupants of the vehicle.
Narcotics detectives served the search warrant on Kukar and her vehicle, Brooks said. Kukar allegedly admitted to possessing methamphetamine and removed approximately 56.7 grams of methamphetamine from inside her pants.
He said Meyer and the minor, who were detained at the time of the stop, were later released.
Shortly after the enforcement stop, narcotics detectives served the search warrant on Kukar’s home, which is located on 35th Avenue in Clearlake. Brooks said detectives were unable to locate any additional contraband.
Brooks said the estimated street value of the 56.7 grams of methamphetamine found during the search is approximately $6,000.
Kukar was arrested and transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility where Brooks said she was booked. Bail was set at $35,000, and jail records indicated she posted the required percentage of bail and was released.
