July 22, 2023 - Orange County Sheriff's Department officials report that on July 16, 2023, at approximately 11:00 p.m., San Clemente deputies conducted a traffic stop for a traffic violation. During the stop, our deputies observed drug paraphernalia in plain view of the vehicle.

A subsequent vehicle search yielded over 900g of Meth, approximately 40g of Fentanyl, a scale, and multiple small baggies. One of the Subjects lied about his name and was on Parole. Our deputies arrested both Subjects for possession of narcotics for sale.

We’d like to thank our deputies for their continued vigilance, investigative skills, and desire to keep San Clemente safe!
