La Habra : Police Go to Corona to Make Drug Arrests

Three people were arrested in Corona Wednesday by La Habra police who allegedly found narcotics valued at $12,000 and 16 weapons, including two sawed-off shotguns and a military-issue bazooka, authorities said Wednesday.

Acting on a tip from a suspect arrested about a month ago in La Habra, officers obtained a warrant to search the home at 1075 Auburndale St. and arrived there at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, La Habra Police Capt. Michael Burch said.

Arrested at the home and booked into the Riverside County Jail were Stephen J. Blomgren, 35, of Irvine, Patricia D. Allen, 35, of Corona, and Cheryl A. Addison, 38, of Riverside. Blomgren and Allen were being held in lieu of $5,000 bail; Addison’s bail was set at $3,500 bail.

Corona Police Sgt. Ray Cota said Blomgren was booked on suspicion of possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, possession and possession for sale of methamphetamines, possession of illegal weapons, possession of stolen property and a charge of being a convicted felon in possession of a concealable weapon. Allen was booked on suspicion of possessing drugs--cocaine, methamphetamines and marijuana--possessing the drugs for sale and possession of stolen property, Cota said.

Addison was booked into the same jail on suspicion of possession of methamphetamines and on an outstanding warrant that charges her with petty theft, Burch said.
