SUMMARY: On November 5, 2024, California voters passed Proposition 36 titled “The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act.” The proposition took effect on December 18, 2024, and reforms multiple laws from Proposition 47, which have been responsible for increasing homelessness, drug addiction and theft. Proposition 36 includes several new Penal and Health and Safety Codes that deputies will be able to apply during arrests when appropriate. These new charges can carry enhanced sentencing, as well as prevent offenders from being cite released prior to their court appearance. The following are arrests made from December 18, 2024-January 8, 2025 in which Proposition 36 was applied:
On January 6, 2025, at approximately 9:52 AM, deputies conducted a probation compliance check at the residence of Jason Crepeau. Deputies found Crepeau to be in possession of methamphetamine.
