A Eureka man has been jailed on drug charges by Eureka police officers who found illegal drugs and a large amount of cash in his car on Nov. 25.
Jack Kyle Daniels, 30, of Eureka, Daniels was booked to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of more than one ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The bust began at about 10 p.m. when a Eureka police officer on patrol spotted Daniels and another man talking in a gas station parking lot on the 1300 block of 5th Street. When they saw the officer approaching, both men walked away from the car they were standing alongside.
Recognizing Daniels, a parolee, the officer followed him into the gas station minimart and searched him, finding $1,818, a baggie containing 12.8 grams (about half an ounce) of crystal methamphetamine and 10 illegally possessed oxycodone (Roxicodone) pills.
Officers next searched Daniels’ car, finding about 5.8 grams of heroin, a digital gram scale with suspected drug residue and over an ounce of processed marijuana. They also found written records of drugs sales, prompting them to ask for a detectives from EPD’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit to assist and take over the investigation.
Investigators found room keys to a nearby motel on the 1100 block of 5th Street in Daniels’ pockets and went to his motel room, where they found two small baggies containing more processed marijuana, a glass meth pipe and a bag containing 20-gauge shotgun ammunition.
A 15-year-old female passenger in Daniels’ car was released into the care and custody of her mother at the gas station.
