Goleta, CA
Loud rap music pouring out the windows of a motor home parked at Goleta Beach around 10 a.m., November 11, caused deputies patrolling the area to investigate. The apologetic owner of the motor home, a 46-year-old male, agreed to turn down the volume. However, his nervous behavior, like continued jaw movement, led deputies to believe the man to be under the influence of a controlled substance. After further questioning, the man explained, “I snorted a line of crank two days ago at a party in Goleta, but it was only to help my toothache.” The self-admitted drug user was cited and released.
