VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – A 67-year-old Camarillo man was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance for sale after over a quarter pound of cocaine was seized during searches of his home on Mission Drive this month.

Earlier this month, deputies began to investigate a 67-year-old Camarillo man with an extensive criminal history and court-ordered search terms for his person and home connected to a prior conviction stated the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

According to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, a search of the 67-year-old's home in the 700 block of Mission Drive in Camarillo resulted in the seizure of 21 grams of heroin, eight grams of cocaine, a working digital scale, and packaging materials.

The Camarillo man was not home at the time of the search, but enough evidence was collected during the search to arrest the 67-year-old for felony possession of a controlled substance for sales explained the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives then initiated a second search of the same Camarillo home last week and on June 26, 2026, investigators descended on the Mission Drive home for a second search shared the local sheriff's office.

As a result of the second search, detectives located 148 grams of cocaine and additional evidence linking the 67-year-old to county-wide narcotics trafficking noted the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

According to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, the 67-year-old complied with investigators during the search of his home Friday and he was taken into custody and booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility on a violation of California Health and Safety Code Section 11351(a)–Felony Possession for Sale of a Controlled Substance.
