In a crackdown on the local drug trade, San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department deputies raided a motorhome on the 45800 block of South Drive and arrested 62-year-old Clifford Woolsey. With a rap sheet that includes a stint as a registered sex offender, Woolsey was found with three pounds of methamphetamine on December 7, deputies said.
After a tip-off about his shady dealings, the deputies obtained a search warrant and found not just meth but also evidence of drug sales and a wad of cash. Found in the motorhome that doubled as his home and base of operations, the drugs were no match for law enforcement's resolve.
Consequently, Woolsey is charged under Health and Safety Code 11378, which pertains to the possession of controlled substances for sale. The Big Bear Sheriff's Station detailed the circumstances leading to the arrest and other relevant information. "Deputies located approximately three pounds of suspected methamphetamine, items indicative of drug sales, and a large amount of currency," The report described the situation inside the motorhome.
Booked at the Central Detention Center, the authorities were not taking any chances with an $80,000 bail slapped on Woolsey. The sex offender, now a suspected drug dealer, is awaiting his December 18 court date. The Sheriff's Department is calling for anyone with more information to come forward, ensuring anonymity to those who want it through the We-Tip Hotline or its website.
