The State - News from Oct. 8, 1986

Apparently inspired by a Tustin girl who reported her parents for possessing drugs, a 13-year-old Yuba City girl has turned in her mother, her sister and two men who live in her household. Officers say they found methamphetamines, marijuana and equipment for cooking methamphetamines in the house. The girl, Jennifer Banks, was lodged in a foster home. Sutter County Community Services Officer John Summers reported that she was feeling guilty and depressed but also that “she just wants to get her mom off the stuff.” Authorities booked the mother, Sandra Lee Banks, 32; Mitchell T. Gregg, 29, and Richard G. Daniel, 26, for investigation of various drug related charges. Jennifer’s 17-year-old sister was booked into Juvenile Hall. Summers said the case of Deanna Young, 13, of Tustin, who turned in her parents for using drugs, probably encouraged Jennifer to confide in him.
