Meth, cocaine and pot found in Friday traffic stop

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – An enforcement stop in Lucerne by Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force detectives has resulted in three felony arrests and the seizure of methamphetamine, base rock cocaine and marijuana.


Those arrested were 44-year-old Lisa Renee Berry of Kelseyville, 46-year-old Lana Doreen Hazen of Lucerne and 58-year-old Johanna Maria Orr of Lucerne, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.


On Friday, June 3, narcotics detectives were conducting surveillance operations in Lucerne, Bauman said. At approximately 3 p.m. detectives observed a purple Pontiac coupe occupied by three women make an unlawful turning movement from Country Club Drive onto 12th Avenue.


Bauman said detectives stopped the Pontiac and identified the occupants as Berry, Hazen and Orr.


When narcotics detectives contacted the three women, all three allegedly displayed symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance, Bauman said.


While the three were being detained for further examination, a narcotics interdiction K-9 team arrived to assist. Bauman said the narcotics detection dog was led to the vehicle and alerted on the vehicle’s trunk and on the passenger side of the back seat where Hazen had been seated.


A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a quantity of rock cocaine on the back floorboard of the car and several bags of marijuana in the trunk, Bauman said.


Bauman said all three women were arrested. As Berry was being escorted to a sheriff’s cruiser, she divulged that she had a bag of methamphetamine concealed in her bra and was allowed to retrieve the bag for detectives.


All three women were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility for booking, Bauman said.


Lisa Berry was charged with possession of a controlled substance, transportation of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and being under the influence of a controlled substance, with bail set at $15,000.


Hazen was charged with possession of a controlled substance and being under the influence of a controlled substance, with bail set at $10,000.


Orr was charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance. Her bail was not listed early Saturday.


All three remained in custody early Saturday, according to online booking sheets.
