Two arrested after deputies find brass knuckles and illegal substances

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif (KESQ)- Two people were arrested last week after deputies discovered illegal substances, including fentanyl and brass knuckles, inside a Twentynine Palms residence.

Deputies responded to a call last Tuesday regarding a 32-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man who illegally occupied a residence on the 1200 Block of Sunrise Avenue.

Authorities said, when they first arrived at the scene, they contacted a woman who initially falsified her name and a man who claimed the residence to be his. Deputies later found the woman had an active narcotics-related warrant for her arrest.

During the investigation, deputies observed suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine inside the residence.

Deputies authorized a search warrant at the residence and found 18 grams of suspected methamphetamine, approximately 241 grams of suspected fentanyl, miscellaneous narcotics paraphernalia including methamphetamine pipes and a digital gram scale, as well as brass knuckles.

The individuals have been arrested and booked into Morongo Basin Jail.
