High-risk suspects arrested for drug, weapons possession
33-year-old Juancarlos Montano of Oceano.
–On Friday, members of the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail along with the Regional SWAT Team, and members of the Sheriff’s Gang Task Force, served a high-risk search warrant at a home in the 1300 block of 18 Street in Oceano. A Sheriff’s K9, a Fish and Wildlife K9 specially trained to detect firearms and a CHP helicopter assisted in this investigation.
The search warrant was part of an investigation that began on March 23 into two incidents in Grover Beach. The first incident involved brandishing a handgun and the second incident a short time later involved a report of shots fired. No one was hurt in those incidents. Investigators believe those two incidents were gang related.
Investigators traced those incidents back to a suspect living at the home in Oceano. When the search warrant was served they found a loaded handgun, large amounts of ammunition for various handguns, rifles and shotguns, illegal high capacity magazines that were loaded, methamphetamine for sale, a couple thousand dollars in cash, and evidence of sales of firearms. All this was happening in close proximity to an elementary school.
34-year-old Dusty Michelle Dickerson of Oceano.
Investigators arrested 33-year-old Juancarlos Montano of Oceano for possession of a controlled substance for sale, conspiracy to commit a crime, committing a drug offense near a school, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm.
Also arrested on the same charges was 34-year-old Dusty Michelle Dickerson of Oceano. Both Montano and Dickerson were taken into custody without incident and booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
The investigation continues.
