CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Narcotics detectives last week made four arrests in connection to the service of a search warrant that uncovered evidence of heroin and methamphetamine sales.
Lt. Corey Paulich said that on May 9 Lake County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit detectives served a search warrant at a residence belonging to Eric Jeffery Klein, 42, and Alexis Rose Coulter, 26, in the 15000 block of 32nd Avenue in Clearlake.
Paulich said detectives located and seized evidence associated with the sales of heroin and methamphetamine.
Approximately 40 grams of black tar heroin was located in a small shed with packaging materials and digital gram scales, Paulich said. Detectives also located a hidden safe, which upon inspection contained over four ounces of crystal methamphetamine, US currency and an additional 20 grams of tar heroin.
Klein and Coulter were also in possession of a stolen .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol that was loaded, Paulich said.
Klein was arrested for violations of possession of heroin and methamphetamine for sale, possession of a stolen firearm, felon in possession of a loaded firearm, and possession of a controlled substance while armed, according to Paulich’s report.
Paulich said Coulter also was charged with possession of heroin and methamphetamine for sale, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a controlled substance while armed. Klein possessed more than $2,300 of currency which was seized per asset forfeiture laws.
Detectives determined Klein and Coulter were living in the residence with a small child under 4 years old, Paulich said.
Two additional people, Adam James Gates, 37, and Shanel Alisha Blevins, 29, were living behind the residence in a trailer with a small child. Based on the evidence located, Paulich said detectives additionally notified Child Protective Services and charged all four subjects with crimes associated with child endangerment.
Klein remains in custody at the Lake County Jail with his bail set at $500,000. Coulter, Gates and Blevins also remain in custody with their bail set at $75,000, Paulich said.
