Sheriffs Bust Drug House, CPS Takes Child

A combined effort of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit and deputy probation officers netted multiple arrests after a drug house was raided.

According to the SLO Sheriff’s Office, the team served a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Parkview Avenue in Grover Beach.

When police entered the home they discovered such deplorable conditions that the house was deemed by the county to be uninhabitable.

Narcotics detectives said they found varying amounts of heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, prescription pills and more than 30 used hypodermic needles along with other items of drug paraphernalia.

Investigators say a two-year-old boy, the son of one of the suspects, Julie Datter, was also found to be living at the home and was turned over to county Child Protective Services.

Detectives arrested –

  • Amado Mendoza, 26, of Grover Beach on charges of possessing a controlled substance for sale
  • Julie Nicole Datter, 26, of Grover Beach was charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance and willful cruelty to a child.
