CALIPATRIA • An Adelanto woman was arrested following a state prison visit on suspicion of passing drugs to an inmate, officials said.
Corrections officers at Calipatria State Prison observed the woman removing a packet from her waistband and passing it to her uncle, inmate Marvin Gonzalez, 31, during a Sunday visit, a prison official said.
Valerie Ann Gonzales, 23, and her uncle were detained and interviewed by Investigative Services Unit officers after the visit, California Department of Corrections Lt. Jorge Santana said.
Investigators found Gonzalez had a bindle containing 28.6 grams of suspected heroin in a pocket sewn into his underwear, Santana said. That amount of heroin is worth more than $22,000 inside prison, he said.
Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion of possessing heroin for distribution and was placed into segregated custody, Santana said.
His niece Gonzales was arrested on suspicion of possessing heroin and possessing a controlled substance inside a prison, according to an Imperial County Jail spokeswoman. She was released after posting bail Monday, the jail spokeswoman said
