On June 21, 2018, investigators from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Interagency Pharmaceutical Crimes Unit (PCU) assisted by the Sheriff’s Gang Unit (SGU) concluded a two-week long narcotic investigation into Christopher Delapp. Delapp was suspected of selling heroin and methamphetamine to residents of Ventura. Delapp also had a felony warrant for a previous controlled substance sales case.
Detectives located and arrested Delapp for the felony arrest warrant in the parking lot of the Ventura Beach House Motel on Thompson Blvd. in the city of Ventura. Delapp was also found to be in possession of a large amount of methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and U.S. currency deemed to be illegal proceeds from narcotics sales. These items were taken as evidence and the US currency was seized. Delapp was additionally arrested for fresh charges of 11351 HS – possession for sale of heroin, 11378 HS – possession for sale of methamphetamine and 11360 – possession of marijuana for sale.
Once Delapp was arrested, the investigation led to a motel room at the motel where five additional subjects were located and detained. A probation search of the motel room revealed narcotics, a stolen Sig-Sauer handgun from Santa Barbara County and a sawed-off short barreled shotgun. All five individuals were arrested for the following charges:
Mitchell Joyce was arrested for 29800(a)(1) PC – felon in possession of a firearm and 33210 PC – possession of a short barreled shotgun.
Daniel Gallimore was arrested for a felony post-release offender supervision (PROS) warrant along with 29800(a)(1) PC - felon in possession of a firearm and 30305(a)(1) PC – felon in possession of ammunition.

The investigation into this case is still ongoing. Upon completion, this case will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review and filing considerations.
