Weekend Highlight and Upcoming Traffic Safety Presentation on Thursday Nov. 16th at 6:00 pm.

Another busy weekend for SCPD. We responded to 501 calls for service. Proactive Policing from SCPD Neighborhood Enforcement Team (NET) nabbed a suspected drug dealer with methamphetamine and heroin for sale. The drugs and the dealer are now off City of Santa Cruz streets.

On Saturday evening 11/11/2017, at approximately 10:45 pm, Officers on SCPD Neighborhood Enforcement Team contacted Eric Calisto, who was using methamphetamine inside his vehicle parked in the 800 block of Water Street. As Officers spoke with the suspect, Eric Calisto attempted to conceal methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in his hand.

Eric Calisto, 35 years old from Truckee, was arrested without incident for possession of a controlled substance, and it was also determined that he was on probation (out of Alameda County). In the subsequent search of Eric Calistro’s car, SCPD Officers located over 60 grams of methamphetamine and over 15 grams of heroin that were packed for sales.

Eric Calisto booked into the Santa Cruz County Jail on felony drug sales charges. Excellent work SCPD NET and SCPD Patrol!
