Amador County - The Amador County Combined Narcotics Enforcement Team (ACCNET) on Friday announced three separate drug busts involving mail-order drug arrangement, a traffic stop, and a smuggling scheme inside Mule Creek State Prison. On Friday, December 18th, 2009, ACCNET concluded an investigation with United States Postal Inspectors involving the mailing of large amounts of Oxycontin through the US Mail from the Sutter Creek and Jackson Post Offices. The packages were sent by locals Marvin Wells, age 48, and Stacey Wells, age 35, to Marvin Wells’ brother, Roger Wells, age 53, living in New Orleans. Roger Wells then sold the drug and wired the money back to Marvin in $1,500 increments. A search was conducted of the Wells residence where their two children were living and additional evidence was seized. Marvin WELLS and Stacey WELLS were arrested and booked into the Amador County Jail for possession for sale of controlled substances, transportation of controlled substances and child endangerment. On Sunday, January 3, ACCNET concluded a joint investigation with the Jackson Police Department involving the arrest of 46-year-old Antonio Quintero, a resident of Carson City, Nevada, for transportation and possession for sales of 2 ounces of “Ice” methamphetamine. The arrest came after a traffic stop for a vehicle code violation in which police discovered a fake oil can containing the illegal substance. During the booking process into Amador County Jail, a finger print scan was conducted and police discovered that Quintero was using a false identity, although his real identity was not revealed to the public. Quintero was booked on charges of possession for sale of a controlled substance, transportation of a controlled substance and providing a false name to law enforcement. Another joint investigation with the Mule Creek State Prison, Investigative Services Unit (ISU) and Postal Inspectors was concluded on Wednesday, January 6th, concerning the smuggling of heroin into Mule Creek State Prison. Information obtained by ISU personnel eventually led to the arrest of Sharon Walker, a 62-year-old resident of Riverbank, Ca. US Postal Inspectors first intercepted a package meant for one of three Mule Creek inmates and attempted to conduct a controlled delivery of the package to Walker, who refused. A federal search warrant was obtained and the package was opened to reveal a small stuffed animal containing 12.1 grams of heroin. ACCNET agents obtained a search warrant of Walker’s residence and items of evidentiary value were seized. Walker was transported to Amador County Jail on charges of bringing a controlled substance into prison, possession for sale of a controlled substance and conspiracy. The three inmates involved were Oscar Rivera, age 44, Hugo Pino, age 43, and Leland Stanley, age 44. All three were arrested by ISU and placed into a special housing unit. ACCNET is one of the 48 regional narcotic task forces that is operated by the Attorney General’s, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.
