Probationer arrested in Irvine on drug charges; multiple IDs and credit cards seized

This post was originally published on this site

Dana Andrea Morales, 30-years-old, was probably not banking on being stopped by one of police officers as she passed through town recently, according to the Irvine Police Department.

Morales, who is on probation, was found in possession of a syringe loaded with narcotics, as well as numerous identification and credit cards that did not belong to her.

She may have been trying to swipe more than a few dollars.

Her visit was cut short when she was arrested and booked at County Jail on narcotics charges, but not the credit card kind!

An investigation into the multiple cards is ongoing.

The IPD is giving their officers credit where credit is due on this outstanding arrest.
