From the Crescent City Police Department:

On 12/14/2022, Crescent City Police Department Officer Sanders and K9 Sgt. Kostya responded to a parking lot located at the intersection of Front Street and H Street regarding a possible stolen trailer.
During the investigation, Officer Sanders contacted and detained Lynn Vangieson (age 34) in connection with the stolen trailer. Sgt. Kostya was deployed to conduct a “free air sniff” around Vangieson’s vehicle. Sgt. Kostya alerted to the odor of narcotics within the vehicle.
A subsequent search of her vehicle resulted in the discovery and seizure of approximately 22 grams of suspected heroin, and two digital scales.
Vangieson was booked into the Del Norte County Jail for 11351 HS, possession of a controlled substance for sales. The trailer was returned to the registered owner and the investigation is still ongoing.
