Probation Search Leads to Large Drug Seizure

On Friday May 29th, at about 1:00 PM, the Simi Valley PD-PROS Officer contacted Jason Klausmeyer (45 years old from San Clemente, CA) and April Baird 39 years old from San Clemente, CA) in their vehicle in the 3800 block of Alamo St.  Baird was dropping off her boyfriend, Klausmeyer for his Probation appointment nearby.  The SVPD assigns one Police Officer to work with the Ventura County Probation Office to assist with contacting and arresting subjects that violate their terms of probation.
The vehicle, registered to Klausmeyer, was searched per his probation terms.  Officers located approximately two kilograms of ketamine and $8000.00 in US Currency.  Both Klausmeyer and Baird were subsequently arrested for possession and transportation of Ketamine for sales.
Detectives from the Simi Valley PD- Special Investigations Unit were contacted and responded to assist with the investigation.  A search warrant was authored and later served at the couple’s residence and storage units in the City of San Clemente that evening.  Detectives seized the following items from the residence in the 600 block of Calle Del Cerrito, San Clemente, CA:
85,000 counterfeit Adderal pills (methamphetamine)
25,000 Ecstacy pills (MDMA)
30 pounds of Ketamine
1 pound of fentanyl
7 pounds of cocaine
10 pounds of Psilocybin (mushrooms)
$13,505 in US Currency
$13,750 in Gold & Silver Currency
The current street value of all illegal drugs seized was approximately $2.1 million.
The initial investigation indicates that the suspects are involved in manufacturing illicit drugs at their residence and transporting/ delivering large amounts of illegal narcotics to locations in Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. 
Both suspects were arrested and booked at the Ventura County Main Jail for violations of 11351 H&S, 11378 H&S, 11379 H&S, 11379.2 H&S and 182 PC. 
The Simi Valley Police Department would like to acknowledge the great work from the Officers from the Ventura County Probation Department, which led to the stop and search of Klausmeyer.  We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Narcotics Units from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and the Costa Mesa Police Department for their assistance in the service of the search warrant.
