Amador County – The Ione Police Department on Monday made a drug-related arrest for methamphetamine possession and transportation, and also apprehended a Sacramento man wanted on multiple charges in Sacramento County.

Chief Michael Johnson said IPD continues its “drug campaign” with an arrest early Monday. He said a “suspicious vehicle in a residential area of the Ione community prompted the Ione Police Department to investigate the circumstances, which led to the arrest of two subjects.”

Ione police were on routine patrol at about 2 a.m. Monday “when they discovered a parked, occupied vehicle in an unusual location within a residential district,” Johnson said. “Officers contacted the occupants and obtained their identification.” In inquiry through dispatch returned saying that one of the subjects was wanted for “multiple outstanding no bail” warrants, leading to the arrest of 26-year-old Dejuan Williams of Sacramento. Williams was immediately placed in custody.

Further investigation into the incident led to the arrest of 21-year-old Sara Curry of Ione, for possession and transportation of methamphetamine, Johnson said. “IPD officers recovered controlled substances from Curry’s person and from a container within the vehicle,” and “Curry was placed in custody.”

Both Williams and Curry were booked into the Amador County Jail. Johnson said “Williams will be extradited to Sacramento County to answer for his outstanding warrant wants.” Curry will face felony drug charges in the Amador Superior Court system.
