KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Three Bay Area residents were taken into custody this week after a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a vehicle stop and found a cache of firearms and marijuana.

Richard Leslie Styles, 51, of San Bruno; Mandeep Singh Deol, 43, of Union City; and Bleu Mariah Debardeleben, 39, of Hayward, were arrested following a Tuesday vehicle stop, according to Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

At 6:10 a.m. Tuesday a Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputy was patrolling in the area of Bottle Rock Road and Sulphur Creek Road, Kelseyville when he observed a gray Volvo with a brake light out and conducted an enforcement stop for the violation, Paulich said.

Paulich said the deputy contacted the driver who was identified as Styles, along with his passengers Deol and Debardeleben.

The deputy smelled an overwhelming odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Paulich said the deputy also observed that the entire passenger compartment of the Volvo was filled with Home Depot moving boxes. Styles told the deputy that each box contained 2 to 3 pounds of marijuana.

During a search of the vehicle, the deputy located a glass pipe and small plastic bag containing suspected methamphetamine. Paulich said the deputy also located 14 firearms in the trunk that were wrapped in a sleeping bag, bolt cutters and a sock containing $77 in quarters.

Paulich said the deputy questioned all three occupants regarding the items that had been located, but they refused to provide any additional information.

Styles and Debardeleben were both prohibited from possessing firearms as they had previously been convicted of a felony, Paulich said.

All three subjects were placed under arrest and transported to the Lake County Jail where they were booked into custody, according to Paulich.

Styles was booked on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession and transportation of marijuana for sale. He remains in custody with bail set at $150,000.

Deol was booked on charges of possession and transportation of marijuana for sale, possession of drug paraphernalia and drug addict in possession of a firearm. He remains in custody with bail set at $50,000.

Debardeleben was charged with felon in possession of a firearm, possession and transportation of marijuana for sale, possession of a controlled substance while armed, and false ID to a peace officer. She remains in custody with bail set at $90,000.
