NORTH COAST, Calif. – A Sonoma County Sheriff's deputy arrested a Clearlake couple last weekend on drug-related charges.
Jeremy White and Angela White, both age 32, were arrested following a traffic stop shortly before midnight last Saturday, Oct. 12, according to a report from Sgt. Dave Pedersen of the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.
Pedersen said a deputy pulled the Whites over for equipment and moving violations on Dutton Avenue at Highway 12 in Santa Rosa.
During the stop the deputy identified the driver as Jeremy White, who was the registered owner of the vehicle. White's wife Angela also was in the vehicle, along with another male, Pedersen said. Jeremy White was on active parole with the California Department of Corrections.
During a parole search of Jeremy White, a small amount of methamphetamine was found hidden in his clothing, according to Pedersen.
A search of the vehicle revealed one-half pound of methamphetamine hidden in the engine compartment, which was seized. Pedersen said that methamphetamine was valued at $3,500.
The Whites were arrested while the second male in the car, who is from Middletown but whose name was not reported, was released, Pedersen said.
During a search of Angela White, a methamphetamine pipe was found hidden in her clothing, Pedersen reported.
Jeremy White was booked at Sonoma County Jail for possession of controlled substance for sale, transportation of a controlled substance and a parole hold. He has a no bail hold status, due to the parole violation, Pedersen said.
Angela White was booked for possession of a controlled substance for sale, transportation of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Pedersen said she was released after posting $40,000 bail.
