REDDING — It was just after noon on the 15th of August, out at the Redding Bank of Commerce on Churn Creek Road. Police had received a call shortly before about someone trying to cash a manufactured check.
By the time officers arrived, the person in question was sitting shotgun in a vehicle in the parking lot. He was detained, along with his two friends, and identified as 26-year-old Sean Michael Obrien. Perhaps not surprisingly, he was also found to be in possession of heroin, hypodermic syringes, and a stolen driver’s license.
The vehicle’s driver, identified as 24-year-old Megan Lee Seiler, was not without her own cache of stimulants — methadone and Lorazapam (both without prescriptions), methamphetamine, and more syringes. The third and unidentified person was released at the scene without charges.
Obrien was arrested for forgery, identity theft, attempting to pass a manufactured check, and miscellaneous drug possession charges, and Seiler for drug and paraphernalia possession charges. Both were booked and remain housed at the Shasta County Jail.
