CLEARLAKE — On Friday Lake County Narcotic Task Force detectives served a search warrant at the home of Joyce Sue Adams in Clearlake. Upon their arrival the detectives contacted and detained Adams without incident. After securing the residence, detectives located a digital gram scale, packaging material and a quantity of methamphetamine in a dresser drawer in the livingroom.
During the search of the master bedroom a safe was located. It was later opened and detectives found items associated with the sale of controlled substances, including additional packing materials and calibration scale weights. Also located in the bedroom was a second digital gram scale and a prescription medication bottle without a label. The bottle contained Diazepam tablets for which Adams did not have a prescription. Approximately one-quarter ounce of methamphetamine was located on the ground next to where Adams was detained. Detectives seized $421 from Adams pending asset forfeiture proceedings.
Adams was arrested and transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility where she was booked for possession of a controlled substance for sale and possession of a controlled substance, Diazepam. At the Hill Road Correctional Facility, detectives requested and received a bail enhancement and Adams” bail was set at $100,000. The request was based on the previous arrest of Adams on July 15 for possession of a controlled substance for sale and possession of marijuana for sale.
