Probation officials said the arrests were notable because of the presence of the children as well as the substantial amounts of narcotics and cash.
Britt was on post-release community supervision, a part of California’s prison realignment program that requires county probation department officers, rather than parole officers, to supervise some offenders released from prison.
According to Main Jail booking records, Britt and Torro both were booked on one charge each of possession of narcotics for sale, possession of non-narcotic controlled substances for sale, and child endangerment. Britt also was booked on a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon, records show. They both are being held without the possibility of bail due to the seriousness of the crime.
