Arvin sergeant pleads not guilty in court

An Arvin police sergeant in California, Delia Reyes, pleaded not guilty to drug and gun charges, with her defense lawyer entering the pleas on her behalf. The charges include felony drug possession while armed with a loaded gun and two misdemeanor drug possession charges. Reyes, who remains out on bail, was charged alongside former Bakersfield police Officer DeAngelo Sanchez after search warrants were served at three Kern County homes in November. Authorities found cocaine in Reyes’ bedroom, along with evidence that Sanchez was in possession of steroids. Reyes admitted to using cocaine within the past two weeks.

Car Seat Concierge, a child safety organization, held an event to educate parents on child safety. Sanchez, who lived with Reyes, was not present when the warrant was served at their home. He faces two misdemeanor drug offenses and is scheduled for a pretrial conference in June. The warrants were served in connection with two cases: one involving the arrest of Francisco Javier Beltran on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, and the other to gather evidence in an investigation into Reyes by the Kern County Sheriff’s Office. Reyes is said to be an associate of Beltran, who is due back in federal court in Fresno.
