Police made some unusual finds when searching the home of a 33-year-old parolee in Irvine over the weekend.
Pedro Garza was arrested after officers with narcotics warrants located him on Saturday, the Irvine Police Department posted on Facebook Tuesday.
“Since Garza was on lifetime parole, with search and seizure, officers checked his phone and found evidence of narcotics and stolen property sales,” police said.
After finding the illegal items, officers decided also to search his nearby hotel room.
“Inside, officers found all sorts of interesting items: narcotics hidden in a Kool-Aid container with a false bottom, United States Postal keys, shaved keys, which are commonly used to steal cars, and evidence of narcotics sales,” police said.
Multiple credit and gift cards belonging to other people were also said to be found in Garza’s room.
He was booked at Orange County Jail for his warrants and on suspicion of numerous fraud and narcotics charges.
