Jamestown, CA…We are always happy to remove dangerous drugs and unregistered hand guns from our community.
Early this morning, Dep. Knapp contacted 21-year-old Alyssa Pifer of Turlock, sitting in a white Chevrolet truck in the parking lot of the Chicken Ranch Casino in Jamestown. Pifer was waiting for her boyfriend 21-year-old James Gonzales of Ceres who was inside the casino. The truck had expired registration and during a conversation with Pifer, she admitted to having methamphetamine hidden in her clothing.

During a search of the vehicle, a loaded Ruger LCP .380 handgun, and drug paraphernalia were located.
Pifer was arrested for drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. Gonzales was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, carrying a loaded firearm, and an additional charge of having possession of an unregistered handgun.

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive and dangerous drug that frequently destroys the health and lives of those who use it. We have zero tolerance for illegal drugs in our community and will continue working hard to keep Tuolumne County safe.
