SMPD Reported Several of the Arrests Between June 29 and July 5
The Santa Monica Police Department reported several drug-related arrests in Palisades Park between June 29 and July 5, according to the department’s Blue Book release.
In the 1300 block, an individual cited for an encampment violation was found with a methamphetamine pipe and approximately 1.99 grams of the drug in plain view. The person, on parole for robbery, was arrested after a parole hold was issued.
In the 1400 block, two individuals were detained, one on Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS) for robbery, possessing methamphetamine and subject to a $55,000 LAPD warrant for narcotics. A search of the second individual, identified as the caretaker, uncovered a meth pipe, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. Both, with extensive criminal histories, were cited and released after LAPD declined to take custody.
Further incidents in the 1500 block included a parolee detained for smoking, found with a no-bail probation violation warrant, and another on parole for assault with a deadly weapon, arrested on a parole revocation warrant after drinking alcohol in the park. Additionally, a PRCS violator smoking in the same area was found with a concealed dagger, leading to a PRCS hold and arrest.
