Criminal menacing, harassment, criminal possession with intent to sell, and criminal possession of a controlled substance were all charges brought against Mapp.
Arline was additionally accused of misdemeanour criminal possession of drugs and assault.
Following the execution of a search warrant at their Whispering Hills residence by the Orange County Special Operations Group, both were discovered in possession of a bundle of fentanyl, two pressed fentanyl pills, steroid pills, and $8,310 in cash.
“This problem is pervasive in every community; no region is impervious to hazardous drugs,” stated Sheriff Paul Arteta. “The use of illicit substances in any quantity is unacceptable.” It is a sobering realization that even a minute quantity of fentanyl has the potential to cause death for oneself or a cherished one.
