LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Proactive enforcement efforts by Lake County Sheriff’s patrol deputies have resulted in two arrests, the seizure of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
On Tuesday, April 17, deputies arrested Ashley Nicole Saxon and Casey Rodgers, both 26 and Kelseyville residents, according to Sgt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On Tuesday at approximately 11:28 a.m. deputies conducted a search of Saxon and her Cypress Avenue residence, Brooks said.
Saxon allegedly had been released from custody with a search clause for a prior narcotics sales case, Brooks said. When deputies entered the residence they also contacted Rodgers.
While conducting a search of the residence deputies located a substantial amount of methamphetamine. Brooks said they also located digital scales, a glass pipe commonly used to smoke methamphetamine and packaging materials.
He said Saxon admitted that the aforementioned items belonged to her.
Saxon was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sales, committing a felony while released on her own recognizance, possession of paraphernalia used for smoking a controlled substance and for being under the influence of a controlled substance, Brooks said.
Saxon was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked. She remains in custody on a no-bail hold, according to jail records.
Rodgers was arrested for having an outstanding warrant. He later was released from custody on his signed notice to appear in court.
