Anaheim : 12 Arrested in Drug Raids on Park, Home
Acting on complaints from residents, Anaheim police swept through Modjeska Park and a nearby residence Friday, arresting 12 adults and juveniles on drug sale charges, police said.
The arrests stemmed from an undercover investigation by the Anaheim Police Department’s special Street Crime Apprehension Team, which has made numerous purchases of illegal substances over a two-month period at the park, Sgt. Gordon Blair said.
Based on the undercover purchases, arrest and search warrants were obtained for a home on the 1700 block of West Sallie Lane, Blair said. Police seized an undisclosed amount of controlled substances, he said.
About 4 p.m. police moved into the park at 1331 S. Nutwood St. and made the arrests.
Arrested at the park were Quentin English, 25; Charles Krug, 19; Kenneth Haynes, 24; Richard Raef, 26; Donald Husser, 24; Donald Chapin, 19; David Hartman, 23; Peter Campbell, 19, and two male juveniles, aged 16 and 13. All are Anaheim residents except English, who is from Garden Grove.
Also arrested for possession of controlled substances for sale at the Sallie Lane residence were Timothy Helmick, 23, and a 17-year-old female, both of Anaheim.
