Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a Guerneville man for possession of methamphetamine when he showed up for his court appearance yesterday. At about 8:45 AM deputies were notified by court security screeners that a man just passed through the metal detectors and, while going through his belongings, they found a folded up piece of paper inside a cigarette package. In the paper was a white powdery substance.
Deputies determined the substance to be about 5 grams of methamphetamine. When they questioned the probationer, Michael Knowles, 61 of Guerneville, they noticed he had been drinking alcohol. He denied any knowledge of the meth, stating he wouldn’t bring drugs to court. However, when the deputies further examined the paper packaging, they noticed it was a receipt from a CVS Pharmacy with Knowles’ name on it.
Knowles was walked into the County Jail where he was booked for possession of methamphetamine and violation of his probation.
