Convicted felon and her accomplice were cuffed after Marin County cops busted them for allegedly dealing deadly drugs out of an RV, officials said. Linda Deem and Larry Thompson were caught up in the legal snare when sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at the Larkspur RV Park, as part of a narcotics crackdown, according to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office.
In the sting, authorities discovered Deem with a stash of orderly packed baggies believed to contain drugs and essentials of the trade, such as a digital scale and cash. At the same time, Thompson was found holding several grams of what appeared to be methamphetamine. Both were also found with a collection of EBT cards not in their names. Deem, who is on probation for drug-related offenses and is barred from owning a stun gun because of her felony record, nevertheless had one among her possessions, the office reported.
Both Deem and Thompson sang like canaries to the detectives, apparently detailing their modus operandi of accepting EBT cards from customers as currency for the narcotics they peddled. Sordid tales of desperation echoed from their confessions when they admitted to the sales of methamphetamine and fentanyl, as per information provided by the sheriff's office.
The duo's criminal histories are as lengthy as the rap sheet for drug sales Deem’s latest cargo of suspected fentanyl turned up a positive result for Diphenidine, a sinister synthetic opioid concoction. This mimics certain effects its infamous opioid cousins deliver, which has since been forwarded to the Department of Justice for a more thorough examination official elaborated on. Kudos are being dished out to the Central Marin Police Authority for lending a hand in nailing the duo and ensuring their escapades were duly disrupted.
Deem has been slapped with charges that include drug sales, illicit stun gun possession, and giving her probation officer the slip. Meanwhile, Thompson is facing drug sales charges coupled with allegations of fraudulent use of state benefit cards.
