The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office has announced that an Oakland man who is suspected of distributing drugs has been arrested as a result of an investigation that lasted for several months and focused on the sender of a greeting card that contained methamphetamine and was sent to Santa Rita Jail.
A narcotics K-9 was able to intercept a card that contained a positive methamphetamine test that was given to a person who was being held in detention the previous year.
They believe that Dominic Lucero, who is 47 years old, was the one who sent the card. A search warrant was executed at his apartment in Oakland on June 3rd.
A spray bottle containing liquid meth, three firearms (including one that is allegedly tied to a felony case in Colorado), 2.7 grammes of heroin, 232 grammes of meth, 41 grammes of fentanyl, 24.9 grammes of cocaine, and 2.7 grammes of heroin were allegedly recovered by deputies. Additionally, $4,301 in cash was allegedly taken from the suspect.
Lucero was taken into custody and placed into Santa Rita on suspicion of various offences. These felonies include possession of narcotics for sale, robbery in the second degree, burglary in the first degree, grand theft, taking drugs into a jail, and several firearms violations, including being a felon in possession of a pistol.
