CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – A probation search conducted by the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force in Clearlake Oaks on Thursday has resulted in one arrest and the seizure of methamphetamine and paraphernalia.
Delana Rae Weathers, 54, who was on formal probation for a previous drug related conviction, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of controlled substance paraphernalia, resisting or obstructing a peace officer, concealing evidence and violation of probation, according to a Friday report from the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On Thursday at approximately 4:30 p.m. narcotics detectives and a uniformed sheriff K-9 patrol deputy performed a probation search at Weathers' Venus Village home as she parked in the driveway, the report said.
The drug detection K-9 alerted on the interior of the pickup truck Weathers was driving, according to the report. A quantity of methamphetamine was later recovered concealed beneath Weathers’ clothing.
While searching Weathers’ bedroom, narcotics detectives located more methamphetamine on a dresser and paraphernalia commonly used to smoke controlled substances, such as methamphetamine, inside one of the dresser drawers, the report said.
Weathers was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked, with bail set at $10,000. Jail records indicated she later remained in custody early Saturday.
