Three arrested after Hemet drug house bust

Three men were arrested after Hemet Police Department’s Crime Suppression Unit executed a search warrant Thursday on a suspected drug house, police reports said.

According to Sgt. Jim Anderson of the Hemet Police Department’s Crime Suppression Unit, the warrant was in response to filed complaints from neighbors of drug activity being conducted at a home in the 200 block of Ruby Avenue.

Anderson said the department’s Crime Suppression Unit had been investigating the suspicious activity at the home for several months, and during the search warrant, detectives found small pre-packaged amounts of heroin and other evidence that heroin was being sold out of the home.

Occupants of the house, 25-year-old Matthew Lang and 32-year-old Brian Lien, were arrested and charged with felony charges including possession of Heroin for sales, possession of Methamphetamine, maintaining a residence for drug use/sales and conspiracy, reports said.

Hemet resident Robert Ortiz, 38, was also arrested.

Lang and Lien are being held on $25,000 bail. Ortiz who had three felony warrants for drug violations, is being held on $85,000 bail, Anderson said in his report.

During a search warrant in December 2008, Shea Cisneros was arrested for heroin sales and is now serving a 10 year prison sentence as a result of the arrest, Anderson said.
