CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police officers arrested a Santa Rosa man on Tuesday after they found him in possession of a number of narcotics, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and prescription drugs.

Luis Ramirez Arroyo, 28, was taken into custody shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to a report from Sgt. Rodd Joseph.

Joseph said two alert Clearlake Police officers on patrol noticed a suspicious black 2013 BMW sedan in the Walmart parking lot, located at 15960 Dam Road. The car was parked away from other vehicles and the windows were fogged up.

The officers contacted the car's occupant, identified as Arroyo, who appeared to have been sleeping, Joseph said.

During the contact with Arroyo, the officers searched Arroyo with his consent and found five small bags of suspected narcotics in Arroyo’s pants pocket. Joseph said three of the bags appeared to contain methamphetamine and the other two, heroin and cocaine.  

Joseph said Arroyo subsequently was arrested.  

During a subsequent inventory and search of the BMW, officers located an additional approximate one-quarter pound of suspected methamphetamine and suspected prescription drugs which were not prescribed to Arroyo, Joseph said.

Arroyo was charged with two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance for sale, and later booked into the Lake County Jail, Joseph said.

The estimated street value of the recovered narcotics is between $5,000 to $12,000, depending on how the drugs were to be packaged and sold, according to Joseph.
