A man was arrested on suspicion of dealing narcotics, after they found methamphetamine hidden in a child's sippy cup. Detectives served a search warrant at the home of 29-year-old Israel Lara Gutierrez on the 4400 block of El Charro Lane. They found cocaine and meth in different locations throughout the home which were all accessible to Gutierrez's children.

 

A baggy of suspected methamphetamine was found inside a sippy cup on the floor. Investigators seized more than nine grams of cocaine and 16 grams of methamphetamine, more than $1,100 cash, scales and other items associated with the sales of narcotics.  Other items were found in a diaper bag inside of a crib in a bedroom.


The suspect's three children were left to the care of their mother at the home. Gutierrez was booked into county jail on charges of possession of cocaine for sales, possession of methamphetamine for sales and felony child endangerment. His bail is set at $100,000.


This seems so pathetically low...  Use your children and things meant for them to  stash your illegal drugs.
