Anonymous tip spurred searches
FULLERTON – Law enforcement agencies often advertise the usage of anonymous tip lines in their effort to counteract criminal activity. The FPD recently received an anonymous tip that led to a large drug bust and six arrests.
Residences in the 200 block of W. Santa Fe and the 200 block of Orangefair Avenue were served search warrants on Thursday, May 11th.

These searches resulted in the seizure of 14,500 Oxyxodone pills, 2,000 MDMA pills, 7 pounds of Psilocybin (mushrooms) 1.5 pounds of cocaine, 16.5 grams of meth, 86 Xanax pills, a loaded 9mm handgun, a ballistic vest, and $65,000 in cash.
The searches also resulted in the arrests of Andrew Zea (29), David Garcia (27), Denis Prado (24), Mickey Shulte (34), German Ortega (26), and Jocelyn Garcia (25).
Shulte was out on bail on an unrelated assault charge when he was arrested Thursday.
The FPD noted that “this is an excellent example of how the community and law enforcement can work together to make our community a safer place.”
