UBICACIÓN:	San Diego, California
VÍCTIMA(S):	Tyler Melgoza, 7 años de edad
SOSPECHOSO(S):	Jessica Melgoza, 35 años de edad, Oxnard Residente

PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Detective Dale Mcalpine, Unidad de Protección de la Familia (805) 385-3921, Dale.McAlpine@Oxnardpd.org

DETALLES: En marzo de 21, 2015 en 8:30 p.m., el padre de 7 year old Tyler Melgoza came to the Oxnard Police Department to report that the child’s mother, Jessica Melgoza, failed to return Tyler after his court ordered overnight visitation. Jessica Melgoza was required to return Tyler to his father at 7:30 p.m. on March 21, 2015.

The Oxnard Police Department Family Protection Unit and the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Child Abduction Unit have been working diligently to locate the whereabouts of Tyler. Durante la investigación, it was believed and subsequently confirmed that Jessica Melgoza had taken Tyler and fled to Mexico. Investigators began to exhaust all leads interviewing family members and asking for the public’s assistance in helping locate Tyler.

En marzo de 25, 2015 en aproximadamente 1:00 P.M. detectives from the Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit were able to make contact with Jessica Melgoza via phone. It was confirmed that Melgoza was in Mexico with 7 year old Tyler in the border city of Tijuana. Investigators negotiated with Jessica to safely return the child to authorities in the United States. Investigators immediately made contact with the Department of Justice to coordinate the safe passage of the mother and child across the border.

Following the phone conversation with Melgoza, detectives from the Oxnard Police Department Family Protection Unit and an investigator from the District Attorney’s Office drove 200 miles to San Diego to ensure and help secure the reunification between Tyler and his father. Within hours and with the assistance from the Department of Justice, Jessica and Tyler were escorted across the border. Tyler was immediately removed from the custody of Jessica Melgoza and taken to a nearby facility in San Diego to be examined by medical staff. Tyler was found to be unharmed.

Once Tyler’s medical examination was completed, he was released to the custody of his father, Tony Melgoza. Tony Melgoza was overwhelmed with emotion and joy to see his son again. Detectives described their own feelings as relieved and very emotional knowing that father and son were both safe in each other’s arms. Detective Dale McAlpine stated, “Its special moments like these that have the greatest impact on me and what I do every day.”

Following the tearful and joyful reunion, detectives made contact with Jessica Melgoza who was immediately served with an Emergency Protective Order restricting her from any contact with the father or child. Within five minutes of leaving the facility, Jessica violated the protective order by calling the child’s father. With the primary focus being on the safe and successful return of Tyler, Jessica Melgoza was released from custody and allowed to leave following the return of the child. The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office will be reviewing the case to determine if charges will be filed against Jessica Melgoza for child abduction and for unlawfully taking the child across international lines.

Pictures of the reunion can be found on our Facebook page.

DETALLES:Detectives from the Ventura County Narcotic Task Force concluded an investigation which began in September 2014 into the sales of “Spice” in Ventura County. Spice is a mix of herbs (shredded plant material) with manmade chemicals applied to it which is mind-altering. It is often called “synthetic marijuana” because some of the chemicals in it are similar to ones in marijuana; but its effects are sometimes very different from marijuana, and frequently much stronger. It is most often labeled “Not for Human Consumption” and disguised as incense and potpourri. sin embargo, the sellers of Spice know it is being consumed and package labeling attract young consumers. Some of the packaging labels include, “Diablo, Scooby Snax, Atomic Bomb, Sr.. Nice Guy, Dead Man, Frankin Stoned, Bob Marley, Sr.. Happy, Mind Trip, and iBlown.”

Because the chemicals used in Spice have a high potential for abuse and no medical benefit, the Drug Enforcement Administration has made many of the active chemicals most frequently found in Spice illegal. sin embargo, the people making these products continuously try to avoid these laws by altering the chemicals in their mixtures to circumvent emergency legislation. Sellers of Spice products try to lead people to believe the ingredients are “natural” and therefore harmless, but they are neither. Spice is the second-most popular illegal drug used by high school seniors (marijuana is the first). Easy access and the misperception that Spice is “natural” and safe have likely contributed to these higher rates of use. Its side effects, like the ingredients, often vary, but emergency rooms report seeing people with rapid heart rates, vomiting, agitation, and hallucinations. Using Spice can lead to abuse and even addiction as the body builds up tolerance to the drug’s effects over time and craves a higher dose to achieve the same effect. (Data from National Institute on Drug Usage NIDA)

Detectives began receiving complaints from patrol officers and officers assigned to local schools of incidents where Spice was involved. They found several incidents where students had become violent and aggressive while at school and the officers had to request medical aid for the students that were under the influence of Spice. The detectives found several other incidents where patrol officers had physical altercations with subjects throughout Ventura County under the influence of Spice and they described the individuals as having super human strength.

Detectives conducted undercover operations at over 32 smoke shops throughout Ventura County and were able to purchase Spice at 9 ubicaciones. Warrants were authored for the above locations. During the search warrants the detectives located over 43 pounds of “Spice,” a stolen handgun, evidence of sales of prescription drugs and 10 gambling style slot machines. Arrests for the sales of “Spice” are still pending since the substances that were seized are still being analyzed to determine if they contain one of the illegal chemicals per the Drug Enforcement Administration. Four additional arrests were made during the service of the search warrants for the stolen gun, sales of prescription drugs and the slot machines.

If you’re a parent, talk to your teens about Spice. It’s not safe. It’s not natural. In fact, no one really knows what’s in a package of Spice. Manufacturers are using a variety of unknown chemical combinations to evade D.E.A. regulations. If you have information about Spice and locations where these products are being sold, call your local law enforcement agency. The Ventura County Narcotics Task Force will continue to investigate the sellers and manufacturers of Spice products.

The Ventura County Narcotics Task Force is made up of narcotics detectives from the Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol, California Franchise Tax Board, Departamento de Policía de Oxnard, Santa Paula Police Department, Simi Valley Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office working cooperatively in the investigation of narcotics offenses occurring in Ventura County.
