Ventura County Sheriff Department – Incident Press Release
On March 27, 2019, Detectives from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit concluded a narcotics sales investigation into Daniel Fernandez of Santa Paula who was involved in the sales of narcotics to residents of Ventura County.
On March 27, 2019, Narcotics Detectives and a patrol deputy from the Headquarters Station contacted Fernandez as he exited the 126 freeway at Wells Road in the City of Ventura. Detectives detained Fernandez and searched his person and vehicle pursuant to a signed search warrant. Fernandez was found in possession of cocaine and a digital scale. Fernandez was arrested and transported to the Headquarters Station for processing.
Following Fernandez’ arrest, Narcotics Detectives served a search warrant at his residence located in the 200 Block of Beckwith Road in Santa Paula. Detectives found additional cocaine, other narcotics, and paraphernalia indicative of narcotic sales. In all, detectives seized 104 grams of cocaine, 20 grams of “Molly” or a variation of MDMA, 281 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, a significant quantity of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), over 1500 Alprazolam/Hydrocodone pills and money believed to be derived from drug sales.
LSD and Molly are illegally obtained synthetic hallucinogenic drugs. LSD and Molly are illegal and dangerous “club drugs” that are abused for their stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. Psilocybin or “Magic Mushrooms” are dried or fresh hallucinogenic mushrooms. The compounds found in these mushrooms are a similar structure to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and are abused for their hallucinogenic and euphoric effects.
