COBB, Calif. – The service of a search warrant by the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force on Friday morning has resulted in two arrests and the seizure of methamphetamine and narcotics paraphernalia.
Arrested were 58-year-old Ladawn Mary Scott and 45-year-old Eric Von Taylor, both of of Whispering Pines, according to a report from Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On July 1 narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for Scott's person, home and vehicles, and served the warrant at 8:30 a.m. Friday, July 8, Bauman said.
After entering Scott’s home detectives found Taylor sitting on a couch in the living room. Bauman said Scott was located as she was exiting a bedroom. Both were detained without incident.
During a search of the home, detectives located a glass “meth” pipe concealed beneath a cushion in the couch where Taylor had been sitting, Bauman said. Taylor was determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance and arrested.
A search of the bedroom Scott was exiting when detectives entered the home revealed a small toiletry case containing methamphetamine. Bauman said the toiletry case also contained more meth pipes, digital scales, packaging materials consistent with the sales of controlled substances, and other narcotics paraphernalia.
He said Scott also was determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance and arrested.
Both Scott and Taylor were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked, Bauman said.
Scott was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of narcotics paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance, he said, while Taylor was charged with possession of narcotics paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Jail records indicated that Scott's bail was set at $10,000, while Taylor's was $3,000. Both posted bail later on Friday and were released.
