| Narrative: |
On October 3, 2018, Detectives from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office East County Street Narcotics Team and the Thousand Oaks Directed Enforcement Unit concluded a narcotics sales investigation into Dana Douglas of Thousand Oaks, who was involved in the sales of methamphetamine to residents of Ventura County.
On October 3, 2018, deputies with the Directed Enforcement Unit conducted a traffic stop on Douglas in Thousand Oaks. Detectives searched his vehicle pursuant to a signed search warrant. During the search, detectives found over an ounce of methamphetamine packaged for sale. Douglas was arrested and transported to the East County Jail.
Following Douglas’ arrest, Narcotics Detectives executed a search warrant at a residence associated with Douglas located in the 1900 block of Gardenstone Court in Thousand Oaks. Detectives located a small quantity of methamphetamine and paraphernalia indicative of illegal narcotic sales.
During the course of the search, detectives determined an occupant of the residence John Kuhl was cultivating marijuana in the backyard of the residence. The investigation revealed the cultivation was not within legal guidelines of Proposition 64, which legalized marijuana after being voted upon by California voters in 2016. Kuhl did not have any permits or licenses issued by the County of Ventura or the City of Thousand Oaks required to cultivate more than the allowed 6 plants of marijuana. Detectives seized numerous marijuana plants and over ten pounds of processed marijuana.
Douglas was booked into the East County jail for possessing controlled substances for sale and his bail was set at $130,000.00. Kuhl was arrested for misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance.
