LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force has arrested a Lakeport man and seized approximately 4 ounces of methamphetamine.
Kory Daniel Hudson, 32, was arrested Tuesday morning, according to Lt. Steve Brooks.
At 10 a.m. Tuesday narcotics detectives were conducting a probation search in Lakeport when Brooks said they noticed a gold Chevy pickup parked on the street.
Detectives saw that the vehicle was occupied and contacted the driver, who was identified as Hudson, Brooks said.
While detectives were talking to Hudson, they noticed he was displaying signs of being under the influence of a controlled substance. Brooks said they had Hudson exit the vehicle and perform several tests to determine if he was under the influence, which he failed.
Hudson subsequently was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance, Brooks said.
During a search, detectives located two plastic bags containing methamphetamine in Hudson’s possession. The gross weight of both bags was 123.8 grams or 4.36 ounces.
Hudson also was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sale and transportation of a controlled substance, Brooks said.
Brooks said Hudson was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked. He remained in custody on Tuesday afternoon, with bail set at $35,000.
