Fresno Narcotics and Firearm Crime:
The Fresno Bee reported that gang members where arrested with a handgun in the center consul of their vehicle. Â Complicating the criminal offense was that one of the gang members were found to be in possession of Cocaine, which was concealed on his person. Â The ages of the alleged gang members was 27 years old and a mere 19 years old. Â It is a bad start to life when a 19 year old will likely be labeled as a gang member and felon for the remainder of his life. Â Job prospects will be bleak and a prison sentence is very possible for this crime even if it is his first offense.
A second controlled substance was found as well.  The prescription (Rx) cough syrup Promethazine was found in the vehicle.  Promethazine is a prescription narcotic which has become quite popular in recent years as a recreational narcotic.
