“Upon the officers arrival they attempted contact with occupants of the room, and upon them opening the door, officers could see narcotics within the room. The resident that opened the door advised officers that two subjects were hiding in the bathroom, officers subsequently contacted Katrina Lane (27) and Alexander Church (21) as they were attempting to conceal and dispose of suspected narcotics in the bathroom.”

“Lane was additionally charged with PC 4573.5 after jail staff located drug paraphernalia concealed within her body cavity.”

When will Prop 63 take affect? One good thing that came out of it. I thought a felon possessing ammunition was a felony too but I couldn’t find that.

Prop 63
Proposition 47 of 2014 made stealing an item that is valued at less than $950 a misdemeanor. Therefore, stealing a gun valued at less than $950 is a misdemeanor. Proposition 63 made stealing a gun, including one valued at less than $950, a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.

Probably on SSI now cause they have been discriminated against and he hurt his back when he was draggin’ the tv out. LOL… May sue the owner now. It’s the owners fault for having a secure building. He looks like a guy that use to work at Double D’s also. Anyone know ? Lock em both up for awhile. Tax dollars well spent !!!
