While on patrol, TCPD Sgt. Marin encountered a female juvenile near the city library off W. Third Avenue on June 29, just after 2 a.m. The Sgt. was there in response to a call from a Sierra County deputy who had observed a male subject taking off into the bushes to hide.
Through further investigation, Sgt. Marin learned that a female juvenile was being accompanied by a man, identified as Ernesto Magana, 22, of Truth or Consequences. The juvenile was found to be in possession of a white crystal-like substance.Â
Sgt. Marin learned the girl did not have parental permission to be out with the man. She was returned to her parents as Sgt. Marin continued his investigation.
Sgt. Marin drafted an arrest warrant for Magana on July 19 for one felony count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Officer Carreon made contact with Magana on July 25 at a residence in the 200 block of S. Pershing. Magana was arrested on the outstanding arrest warrant without incident. He was booked into the Sierra County Detention Center on the outstanding arrest warrant.
