The following is a press release from the Ukiah Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On 01/03/2025 at approximately 10:15 p.m., a Ukiah Police Department (UPD) officer was on routine patrol on Leslie Street in Ukiah when he contacted Selene Gonzalez. Gonzalez admitted to being in possession of drug paraphernalia, and a probable cause search was initiated.
In Gonzalez’s purse, UPD officers located fentanyl, a scale, records of drug transactions, and a significant amount of cash. Additional fentanyl was found on Gonzalez’s person, and after being taken into custody, she admitted to having more contraband hidden in her clothing. Gonzalez then removed additional fentanyl, methamphetamine, ketamine, and drug packaging material from her undergarments.
UPD officers ultimately obtained the lawful ability to search Gonzalez’s hotel room, where they found more cash, scales, transaction records, a false compartment in a soda can, and commercial quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin. A check of Gonzalez’s criminal history revealed multiple prior convictions for drug possession.
Gonzalez was arrested and transported to the Mendocino County Jail, where she was booked for four felony charges: 11351 H&S, 11378 H&S, 11395(a) H&S, and 11366.8 H&S.
As always, UPD’s mission is to make Ukiah as safe as possible and rid the community of dangerous drugs. To learn more about crime in your neighborhood, sign up for telephone, cellphone, and email notifications by clicking the Nixle button on our website: www.ukiahpolice.com.
Good. Now get the 100 friends running amok too. They are slinging on every corner. Put in traffic control gates for the poor folks living in Orchard apartments. The drug loop and drop offs are constant and the parking lot is used as a shortcut.
Better yet let’s get military checkpoints at every intersection in town you nazi.
