K-9 sniffs out nearly four pounds of meth in Santa Rosa

(KRON) — The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said a K-9 sniffed out nearly four pounds of methamphetamine during a search warrant in Santa Rosa on Tuesday.

SCSO said narcotics officers and patrol deputies canvassed the car and apartment of a man identified as David Groth, who was detained during the search warrant.

“K-9 Duke responded to the location and located methamphetamine in both Groth’s vehicle and apartment,” said the sheriff’s office. “In total, Groth was found to have almost three and a half pounds of methamphetamine.”

The sheriff’s office confirmed that Groth was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sale and committing a drug-related offense with two prior drug convictions.

SCCO said he was booked into the county jail where he is being held without bail.
