A repeat drug offender has been arrested once again in Santa Rosa, leading to the seizure of controlled substances and cash. According to a social media post by the Santa Rosa Police Department, Eyobell Solomon, a 28-year-old Santa Rosa resident, was stopped by the Downtown Enforcement Team (DET) last Tuesday. Solomon, recognized by officers as being on felony pretrial services for a previous narcotics arrest, was subjected to a comprehensive search as dictated by the terms of his pretrial services.
Packaged for sale, suspected Adderall and roughly $7,000 in cash were found concealed in Solomon's vehicle by DET officers, who knew him on sight. The officers, presumably acting within the scope of their authority, facilitated the narcotics team's involvement, which led to the discovery. A further investigation prompted the execution of a search warrant at Solomon's residence in the 2100 block of Bock Street, Santa Rosa. Searching the residence later that evening, narcotics detectives uncovered approximately 25 bottles of suspected Promethazine packaged for sale alongside an additional $110,000 in cash, a controlled substance known to be a Schedule V narcotic.
Following these discoveries, Solomon was detained and brought to the Sonoma County Jail. In a twist revealing Solomon's attempts at concealment, a deputy found a pill inside his sock during a standard jail booking search. According to an account detailed in the post, a more exhaustive search revealed a baggie filled with pills, ingeniously hidden inside his body – pills that were later identified as Adderall, Xanax, and Oxycodone.
The significant sum of cash was seized and earmarked as evidence, leaving Solomon booked on charges that included "11351 H&S – Possession of a Narcotic for Sale," "1203.2 PC – Violation of Pretrial Services," and the soberingly serious "4573 PC – Bring a Controlled Substance into a Jail."
