CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – The service of a search warrant last week resulted in a Clearlake Oaks man's arrest, and the seizure of marijuana and methamphetamine.

David Wayne Christensen, 58, was taken into custody last Friday, Aug. 1, according to Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Brooks said narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for a residence located in the 12000 block of Widgeon Way in Clearlake Oaks on July 31, serving the warrant at 8:45 a.m. the following day.

When detectives entered the residence, they located Christensen and 61-year-old Kurt Matthew Mueller of Clearlake Oaks, Brooks said. Both men were detained without incident.

During the search detectives found 102 marijuana plants in the backyard and on the residence's roof. Brooks said the plants were eradicated.

Christensen told detectives that he was cultivating marijuana to sell, explaining that he does not smoke marijuana. However, Christensen said he was cultivating the marijuana in his backyard with the intent to sell it after harvest to make money, Brooks said.

Brooks said Christensen denied having any other narcotics or illegal items in his residence, with the exception of a glass pipe used to smoke methamphetamine. During a search of Christensen’s bedroom, detectives located and seized two glass pipes, a digital scale and a small amount of methamphetamine.

Christensen was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana for sale, cultivating marijuana and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. Brooks said Mueller was released at the scene.
