A 26-year-old Oxnard man was arrested Wednesday after a team of police officers raided his home on the 1200 block of South K Street and found rock cocaine packaged for sale, authorities said.
Christopher Paul Martinez was arrested about 8 a.m. after officers from the Oxnard and Port Hueneme police departments, as well as deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, searched his home and found the drug along with a small amount of marijuana and about $180 in cash, an Oxnard police spokesman said.
Before the raid, the officers had obtained a search warrant after narcotics investigators with the Oxnard police gathered information that Martinez was making street sales of the drug.
Martinez was booked into Ventura County Jail on suspicion of possession of cocaine for sale and probation violations, a jail spokeswoman said. He is set to be arraigned Friday, she said.
