LARGE AMOUNT OF ILLEGAL DRUGS FOUND DURING SEARCH OF INMATE HOUSING UNIT AT THE BUTTE COUNTY JAIL Oroville CA On October 23, 2020 at approximately 9:15 a.m., Butte County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) correctional deputies conducted a random search of an inmate housing unit within the Butte County Jail. Deputies routinely conduct random searches of inmate housing units to locate contraband and inmate made weapons. This is necessary to ensure the safety and security of the inmat...es, civilian contractors and correctional staff who work in the jail. As part of those searches, correctional deputies conduct cursory pat-searches of the inmates housed in the unit to make sure they are not in possession of weapons or contraband. During a cursory pat-search of inmate David Weston, age 39, approximately 9.7 grams of black tar heroin, 12 packages of Suboxone strips and multiple unknown crushed pills were found to be concealed on his person. Weston was recently remanded into custody during a court appearance. He knew he was likely to be remanded into custody ahead of time and it’s believed that he smuggled the narcotics into the jail by hiding the contraband inside his body. Weston was arrested by deputies and booked for the illegal transportation for sale of a controlled substance, in violation of Penal Code section 11352. Weston was also booked for illegal sales of narcotics in violation of Penal Code section 4573.9, when it was determined that he was furnishing the narcotics to other inmates in exchange for money being deposited upon his inmate account. During the search of the housing unit, deputies located approximately 3 gallons of pruno, which is an alcoholic beverage commonly made by inmates using food items they obtain from the meals they are served. Additionally a three inch bolt with a sharpened paperclip affixed to the end was located. It is likely this item was being used to apply tattoos. Deputies are conducting further investigation in an effort to determine which inmates were responsible for those items. ###
