ISLA VISTA, Calif. - Two men from Oceanside were arrested in Isla Vista this weekend after they were found to be in possession of multiple illegal drugs allegedly for sale.

Around 1:50 a.m. Saturday morning, Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies conducted a traffic stop on a car driving down Sabado Tarde Road in Isla Vista.

When deputies spoke with the driver and passenger, they discovered the driver did not have a valid license. Deputies also reported spotting a firework launching tube in the back seat.

As deputies investigated further, they reportedly found multiple Xanax and oxycodone pills, black tar heroin, a scale covered in residue, a small amount of cocaine and over $6,700 in cash.

The Sheriff's Office said both Oceanside men were arrested on transportation for sales of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and conspiracy.

The men were booked at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail but released back into the public on California's zero bail rule during the pandemic.
