Lawndale Man Adds Drug Paraphernalia Arrest to Drug Possession Warrants
HAWTHORNE, CA—One reason it may be called dope is because those strung out on it tend to waste their creativity on ways to be arrested.
Eddie Aubrey McAllister, 48, was arrested by Hawthorne police officers on Tuesday, November 25 at approximately 3 p.m. The Lawndale man was picked up along the 3100 block of Rosecrans Avenue where the major thoroughfare intersects Crenshaw Boulevard.
Hawthorne police records indicate that McAllister’s latest arrest was for possession of a device used for controlled substances and/or drug paraphernalia (11364(A)HS).
It is not the first time he has been arrested for similar violations.
According to Gardena police records, he has three warrants for that same paraphernalia possession (11364(A)HS). Redondo Beach police also have a drug paraphernalia warrant for him.
It may be that McAllister believes that having just a crack pipe or heroin needle will keep a person from being charged as harshly as for possession of the crack or heroin itself.
The bail amounts, however, indicate otherwise. Although Hawthorne police placed a mere $250 bail amount on the latest amount. The warrants from Gardena police clocked in at $26,000 for the highest and $5,000 for the lowest with a $15,000 one in the middle. The Redondo Beach warrant was also $26,000.
