LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport man was arrested late last week for what police said was a large quantity of marijuana that he had for sale.
Burt Lee Hundley, 31, was arrested in the case, according to Lt. Jason Ferguson.
Ferguson said that at 6:30 p.m. last Friday, Nov. 30, Lakeport Police officers responded to the
Regency Inn Motel on a report of two men involved in an altercation.
Officer Joe Eastham located and detained Hundley and found him to be highly intoxicated, Ferguson said.
Located in a bag Hundley was carrying was approximately four pounds of marijuana in various plastic bags believed to be possessed for sale, according to Ferguson.
He said Hundley was arrested for possession of marijuana for sale, possession of more than one ounce of marijuana, and for being intoxicated in a public place and disorderly conduct.
Hundley was transported to the Hill Road Jail where he was booked. His bail was set $15,000.
Jail records indicated that Hundley remained in custody on Monday, when he was set to make an appearance in Lake County Superior Court.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – If it felt like a lot of rain fell over the past few days – particularly for residents on Cobb Mountain – you are right; Lake County received the brunt of the rainfall in the storm series.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, Cobb received 18.34 inches of rain since Wednesday, the most of any reported weather station in the state since the latest storm series began.
Reported rainfall totals around the state included 12.92 inches in Blue Canyon, 9.31 inches in Chico, 8.42 inches at Clear Lake/Mt. Konocti, 5.27 inches in Vacaville and 2.45 inches in Modesto.
Other areas of Lake County received much less than Cobb during the same period according to Western Weather Group. Middletown received 9.34 inches; Upper Lake, 5.66 inches; Scotts Valley, 5.65 inches; and Kelseyville, 4.81 inches.
Local creeks and streams went from summer-dry to near flood-stage during this storm series. Clear Lake itself went from 1.66 feet Rumsey on Friday to 2.74 feet Rumsey early Monday morning, according to a U.S. Geological Survey gauge.
Localized flooding was reportedly minimal, although a portion of Scotts Valley Road was open to residential traffic only on Sunday due to flooding, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Power outages were reported in several areas throughout the storm series including Cobb, Kelseyville and north Lakeport.
Skies cleared Sunday afternoon and overnight temperatures last night dropped below 50 for the first time in days.
Forecasters predict mostly sunny skies throughout the day before showers return tonight; with rain expected all day Tuesday and overnight into the day on Wednesday.
By Wednesday evening, the National Weather Service is forecasting a return to mostly sunny days with daytime temperatures in the 60s and partly cloudy nights with lows in the 40s for the remainder of the week.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A collision on Highway 53 Saturday evening resulted in one woman being injured.
The two-vehicle crash occurred at 5:30 p.m. at the Highway 53 and Dam Road intersection at the entrance to Walmart, according to Sgt. Martin Snyder of the Clearlake Police Department.
Snyder said Jackie Broman, 54, of Clearlake, driving a 1994 GMC pickup, collided with a 1999 Jeep Wrangler driven by Sarah Dunn, 24, who he said is believed to be from Roseville.
Due to weather conditions, Snyder said air ambulances were unavailable to fly Dunn out of county.
Instead, Dunn was transported by Lake County Fire Protection District ambulance to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake, while Broman was released at the scene, according to Snyder.
Both vehicles were towed, he said.
Snyder said the southbound lane was closed for 45 minutes to an hour.
