Early Thursday at about 3 a.m., sheriff’s deputies were conducting a business check of the Konocti Vista Casino in Lakeport when they contacted 30-year-old Jeremy Lee White of Santa Rosa, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
White drew the attention of deputies by exhibiting symptoms of being under the influence, Bauman said.
Bauman said that, subsequent to his detention, White was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Incident to his arrest, deputies seized a 200,000 volt Taser from White’s jacket pocket and suspected methamphetamine from his pants pocket. Bauman said that a subsequent search of White’s vehicle parked outside of the casino revealed several items of stolen property.
A GPS unit, a laptop computer, and a leather laptop bag allegedly found in White's car had all been reported as stolen to the Clearlake Police Department on Feb. 14, Bauman said.
White was booked at the Lake County Jail on felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, receiving stolen property, and misdemeanor charges of being a felon in possession of a stun-gun and being under the influence of a controlled substance, Bauman said.
White was out on bail at the time of his arrest and already had several open felony cases pending adjudication in both Lake and Sonoma counties, according to Bauman's report.
Due to White's alleged continued commission of felonies while out of custody on bond, a bail enhancement of $250,000 was granted for Thursday morning’s arrest and he remains in custody at the Lake County Jail.
