LAKEPORT, Calif. – The service of a search warrant by the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force in Lakeport Tuesday afternoon has resulted in two arrests and seizure of methamphetamine and narcotics paraphernalia.
Arrested were 29-year-old Bradley Steven Holt and his girlfriend, 27-year-old Bonnie Raeshelle Denham, both of Lakeport, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On May 13, narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for the person, home and vehicles belonging to Holt of Lakeport. On Tuesday, May 17, at approximately 2:20 p.m., detectives served the search warrant at Holt’s Brush Street home, Bauman said.
Narcotics detectives located Holt and Denham, outside of the home. Bauman said both were detained without incident as officers with the Lakeport Police Department arrived to assist.
Both Holt and Denham were determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance and arrested, Bauman said.
When detectives searched the home, they located and seized methamphetamine and illicit narcotic medications from a bedroom shared by Holt and Denham. Bauman said detectives also located live ammunition in Holt’s pickup truck, which was unlawful for him to possess as a convicted felon. A search of Denham’s clothing revealed a glass “meth” pipe she had concealed beneath her clothing.
Both Holt and Denham were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility for booking. During the booking process, correctional officers recovered more methamphetamine that Denham had concealed in her bra, and another “meth” pipe concealed beneath her pants, Bauman said.
Holt was booked for possession of a controlled substance, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and being a felon in possession of live ammunition, Bauman said. Denham was booked for possession of a controlled substance, bringing a controlled substance into a jail, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
