A search of a Lake County trailer by law enforcement turned up a variety of drugs and sales materials as well as the makings of a meth lab, according Monday to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies Saturday searched a Schindler Street trailer in Clearlake Oakes and in a closet found a boxed, but recently used meth lab of chemicals and glassware, officials said. They also found almost 40 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of heroin and 425 grams of processed marijuana, along with scales and packaging materials, officials said in a news release.

Deputies arrested Willie Travis Pardee Jr., 61, of Clearlake Oakes on suspicion of multiple drug charges including felony possession for meth sales, making drugs and possessing chemicals to make meth. His bail was set at $50,000.
