DETAILS:
On May 11, 2017, at approximately 7:00 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department served a narcotics search warrant at a residence in the 600 block of Palm Drive. This residence has been a concern for residents of the Wilson Neighborhood for over a year because of the suspected drug activity and known gang members who frequent the house.
The Neighborhood Policing Team (NPT) worked closely with narcotics detectives for several months and authored a search warrant as a result of numerous drug related arrests of persons leaving the home and the high frequency of suspected drug users that were in and out of the home at all hours of the day and night. One of the alarming aspects of the investigation was the high number of known Oxnard criminal street gang members and associates that were seen visiting the house.
Oxnard Police SWAT, K-9, NPT and Narcotics Investigators detained eight individuals, both men and women, at the house and conducted drug influence investigations resulting in all eight being arrested. Two of the eight had active arrest warrants and each of them was suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Jose Aguayo was the person in control of the house and was booked for a felony violation of Health and Safety Code 11366 for operating a drug house. Aguayo was allowing narcotics offenders to visit his house to use illegal narcotics.
