“On Monday, September 11, 2023, at approximately 1:43 am, a Deputy was patrolling the area of 10th Avenue and Kansas Avenue in rural Kings County. While in the area, the Deputy spotted a Dodge Ram with a mechanical violation and conducted a traffic enforcement stop on the truck. Once the truck pulled over, the Deputy contacted the driver and his passenger.
The passenger identified himself as Cody Johnson and during a records check it was discovered there were two warrants issued for his arrest. The first warrant was issued out of Tulare County for drug possession with a bail of $40,000. The second warrant was issued from Kings County for being under the influence of a controlled substance with no bail.
Cody was placed into custody and during a search of Cody and his belongings several illegal items were located. The Deputy located 0.8 grams of what appeared to be Methamphetamine and later tested positive for Fentanyl. Fifty-one blue pills with “M30” imprinted on them were also located. According to the Department of Justice drug fact sheet, these pills appeared to be counterfeit Oxycodone and contain Fentanyl. Fourteen white pills were also located, and Cody later told authorities they were Vicodin pills which he did not have a prescription for.
Cody was booked into the Kings County Jail on his warrants and the fresh charge of possession of a controlled substance which had a $5000 bail. Due to his warrants, he is being held in custody.”
