The arrest was the culmination of a narcotics investigation that lasted several months. Santa Paula detectives and FBI agents conducted numerous surveillance and ‘buy’ operations which led to the arrest of Limon.

“Anytime we can take a serious drug dealer of the streets, it’s a good day. We want to send the message that if you’re doing anything illegal in the City of Santa Paula, we will show up on your doorsteps like we did to Mr. Limon this morning. This is not a matter of if, but when,” said Police Chief Steve McLean.

The warrant was executed at Limon's residence located in the City of Fillmore. Limon was located at the residence and was taken into custody without incident. Several other occupants were briefly detained however, were found not to be involved and released at the scene. Limon was taken into federal custody on charges of distribution of methamphetamine.
