Thomas Mark Nordahl, 32, and Candace Marie Conzet, 29, both of Clearlake, were arrested in the case, according to Sgt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On Friday Lake County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit detectives and officers from the Clearlake Police Department served a search warrant that had been obtained by sheriff’s detectives at a residence in the 5500 block of Old Highway 53 in Clearlake, Paulich said.
Paulich said detectives searched the residence, locating approximately one-quarter pound of methamphetamine, half an ounce of heroin, four and a half pounds of processed marijuana, one-quarter pound of marijuana concentrate, two loaded handguns and body armor.
Detectives were able to determine the residence belonged to Nordahl and Conzet, and that they had the drugs for the purpose of sales, Paulich said.
Conzet and Nordahl were not located at the residence at the time of the search warrant. Paulich said both were found a short time later by Clearlake Police officers in front of a residence on Fresno Street in Clearlake and placed under arrest.
Nordahl was transported and booked at the Lake County Jail for possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of heroin for sale, possession of methamphetamine and heroin while armed with a firearm, maintaining a place to sell/use controlled substances, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of body armor by a person convicted of a violent felony, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon and possession of marijuana for sale, according to Paulich.
Conzet was booked for possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of heroin for sale, maintaining a place to sell/use controlled substances and being a person under the influence of methamphetamine while in possession of a loaded firearm, Paulich said.
Bail for both Nordahl and Conzet was set at $500,000, and they remained in custody on Monday, based on jail records.
The sheriff’s office is continuing its efforts to eradicate narcotics from the communities of Lake County and seize the suspected profits of drug trafficking for asset forfeiture whenever possible.
