PERRIS, CA — Authorities arrested two people during a warrant service at a Perris home Thursday, according to reports by the Perris City Special Enforcement Team and Riverside Sheriff's Gang Task Force Region 6.
The pair, identified as Donnessa Sampson, 40, and Deytwan Sampson, 47, both Perris residents, were arrested at a home located in the 1500 block of Ranch Street in Perris after what was described as an ongoing investigation. During the warrant search, deputies found firearms, a hard plate body armor, a small amount of narcotics, and $440,000 in U.S. currency.
They were arrested and booked at Cois Byrd Detention Facility and held on $1 million each for charges relating to child endangerment, possession of Ecstasy for sale, as well as additional felony drug and weapon charges, according to Sgt. Kamal Kabbara.
The investigation began in late April at Frank Eaton Park in the May Ranch neighborhood of Perris, according to Sgt. Kamal Kabbara.
