Lara was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance. Jaramillo was arrested for possession of hashish. The juveniles were arrested drug related charges. All subjects were additionally arrested for being present at a location where drugs are used. The adults were booked into the Main Jail for the listed charges. The juveniles were cited and released to their parents.
the cops are just as corrupt as this pathetic little town.
I went to High School with these 3 guys…. what a shame the path they are taking.
This is old news. The arrests were made over 2 weeks ago.
Ian has long been a loser. This is not a shock at all. I feel sorry for his family to have to share relation with him. Lock him up now and keep him, he will only continue to be a dip**** free. Johnny is hardly better, though seldomly sober enough to do much with his life that would harm another.
Someone recommended an 8 ft fence around Libbey Park? That is stupid ok? Why not just give the taggers a 6 pack of flo black for their graffitti while you are at it. Crime isn’t always kept out by fences in a public place. It is better to have areas that are fence free, where people can see whats going on like the people that observed the drug dealing. If there was a handy fence to stand behind, those people wouldn’t have seen it to report it. I don’t want my kids hidden behind a fence skate park either,have it be open and attractive so when we drive by we can all see what is going on.
Ian Sangster was arrested last month for tagging in downtown Ojai using the creative nom de plume, “Tagger”. He was on probation then, too. Only 19, throwing his life away one bad decision at a time. http://www.ojaipost.com/2010/05/tagging-in-ojai/
This is great news, and my thanks go out to our Sheriff Department. I am also glad they are not recommending a 8 foot fence around Libby Park to stop drug deals it in the future.
