Narrative:
On 6-6-2010, Ventura County Sheriff narcotic investigators along with members of the City of Thousand Oaks Police Department’s Special Enforcement Unit concluded a month long investigation into an illegal marijuana delivery service operating in the City of Thousand Oaks. Investigators learned Fabian Citraro and his wife Amanda were the owners of “Mary Jane’s Bud” located in the 3500 block of Old Conejo Road in the City of Thousand Oaks. Investigators obtained search warrants for four locations associated with the illegal marijuana sales operation. Two locations were in a business complex in the 3400 block of Old Conejo Road. These two locations were determined to be sites where marijuana plants were being cultivated. The third location was housed in the 3500 block of Old Conejo Road where a central dispatch center took marijuana orders either by telephone or by the Internet. The dispatcher at the center would fill the requested orders and multiple drivers would deliver the marijuana to the customers’ doorsteps. Investigators also served a search warrant at the couple’s residence in the 20 block of Teardrop Court, Thousand Oaks. Investigators found marijuana converted to food products in the refrigerator at the residence. Small children had easy access to this marijuana in the refrigerator. Therefore, investigators are pursuing child endangerment charges on the couple. The couple was booked into the Ventura County Sheriff’s Pre-Trial Detention Facility and are scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on July 6, 2010.
