Four Crestline residents were slapped with cuffs after a thorough probe busted them for running an alleged drug den off Scenic Drive. According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, the narcs swooped in on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, and snagged a host of illicit goodies from the spot.
Jason Averhart, 52, Keri-Lyn Glenn-Stewart, 55, Rebecca Angerer, 59, and James Mecca, 55, were the perps caught in the sting, tucked away in the 23000 block of Scenic Drive. Spinning a wide net, the Twin Peaks Sheriffs had the foursome booked on a roster of drug-related raps, from maintaining a drug house to possession of narcotics for the purpose of peddling them.
During the raid, the authorities uncovered enough drug paraphernalia to make a dealer blush. The laundry list of seized items included methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, scales, and baggies – all telltale signs of a narcotics vending operation. This haul didn't just include drugs and tools of the trade; cops also found a mix of cash, in various denominations, obviously profits from their illicit business.
Averhart and Glenn-Stewart weren't new to the game, as they were also arrested for outstanding warrants, deepening their legal woes. Being held at Central Detention Center, the quartet might be singing the blues for a while. The bust, shedding light on the drug activities, aims to clean up the streets, making it safer for the state's residents.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Shannon D. Dicus underlined the department's commitment to snuffing out such drug hotspots. Dealing a blow to drug rings remains a priority for law enforcement, aiming to keep the poison off the streets and protect communities from the fallout of drug abuse.
Deputy Omar Romero-Rios of the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station is the point person for those with any additional info on this case.

Crestline's day was rocked by this law enforcement shakeup, but many in the town see it as a necessary step to purge the streets of drug-related scum.
