Amador County – The Ione Police Department reported teaming with the Mule Creek State Prison personnel to arrest a man for taking drugs and weapons onto state prison property Sunday in Ione. Ione Police Chief Michael L. Johnson said the Ione Police Department in cooperation with Mule Creek State Prison “identified, investigated, and arrested 48-year-old Richard Bezemer for bringing drugs and weapons onto state grounds” Sunday, September 5th. Johnson said Mule Creek officers were first alerted to Bezemer as he attempted to enter the visitor facility. Marijuana was subsequently discovered in Bezemer’s possession. Further investigation led officers to Bezemer’s vehicle which was parked on the state grounds. Johnson said “additional containers of marijuana, several knives, and other suspicious prescription medications were removed from (Bezemer’s) vehicle.” Bezemer was placed in custody and booked into the Amador County Jail on felony drug and weapon possession charges. Bezemer’s vehicle was towed and stored after his arrest. Johnson said the incident is an “example of mutual aid enforcement techniques used to combat crime within the city of Ione.” Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
