Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release
On November 5th at 9 AM, the Ventura Police Department Command Center received a call for assistance from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Civil Eviction Unit, who were conducting an eviction in the 200 block of S. Evergreen Dr.
While attempting to evict the illegal occupants, numerous subjects fled from the home, refusing to follow commands. Ventura police patrol officers arrived on the scene within minutes and detained several subjects. While attempting to identify the individuals involved, officers contacted 28 year old Chris Delapp, who was on probation for narcotics violations. Officers contacted Street Crimes Unit Narcotic Detectives, who responded to the residence.
Officers continued their investigation by conducting a probation search of Delapp’s vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, investigators located a large amount of methamphetamine, heroin, and Xanax. Delapp was also in possession of a large sum of money and items used for the sales of narcotics. Officers took him into custody without incident.
Delapp was arrested and booked at the Ventura County Jail for possession of narcotics for sales.
A review of the Ventura County Superior Court website shows that Delapp has prior convictions of 11351 H&S Possession for sale of a controlled substance and 148(a)(1) PC Resist, Obstruct, Delay of a Peace Officer.
