CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Lake County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force detectives arrested two Clearlake residents this week after findings drugs, paraphernalia and weapons at the home they shared.

Ricky Lawrence Bryan, 52, a truck driver, and 67-year-old Janie Lou Easterbrook, a rancher, both from Clearlake, were arrested following a warrant search on Wednesday, April 4, according to Sgt. John Gregore of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Gregore said Lake County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force detectives secured a search warrant for the home and person of Bryan this past Tuesday. They served it at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and contacted Bryan as he was driving to his home.

Bryan had $3,360 in currency in his wallet and pockets. Gregore said narcotics detectives also found evidence related to drug sales in text messages on Bryan’s phone.

Narcotics detectives located glass pipes used to smoke methamphetamine, a small bag with suspected Oxycontin pills and a digital scale with suspected methamphetamine residue in Bryan’s bedroom, Gregore said.

The detectives also located a loaded stainless steel Smith and Wesson .357 revolver under the cushion of a chair in the room, according to Gregore.

He said the detectives found a small amount of suspected methamphetamine in a room belonging to Easterbrook.

In addition, approximately 5 ounces of suspected methamphetamine were found in the garage of the residence, Gregore said.

Gregore said Bryan’s currency and his burgundy Corvette were seized by narcotics detectives at the scene for possible asset forfeiture proceedings.

Bryan was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sales, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a narcotic controlled substance and felon in possession of ammunition. Gregore said the sheriff's Web site lists an incorrect subsection stating ammunition sales to a minor on Bryan's booking sheet.

Jail records showed Bryan remained in custody on Saturday on a no-bail hold.

Easterbrook was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sale, with bail set at $25,000. She later posted bail and was released, according to jail records.

Bryan also was arrested by narcotics detectives at his home in February, as Lake County News has reported.

At the time of his February arrest, detectives found drugs, currency, a loaded .22 caliber pistol and paraphernalia, officials reported.
