Tip Leads To 4 Petaluma Arrests For Drugs, Guns: Police

PETALUMA, CA — Four men were arrested this week in Petaluma after police received an anonymous tip about "pill distribution" taking place in the parking lot of a convenience store parking lot. Petaluma police Sgt. Lance Novello said officers were dispatched to the scene and upon seeing one of the vehicles described by the caller, made contact with four men inside the car: Zackery Fortune, 24, of Petaluma; Brandon MacPherson, 23, of San Rafael; Julian Pedrinazzi, 24, of Sebastopol; and Garrett Glen, 25, of Washington state.

With Fortune being on active parole and MacPherson on active supervised release probation, Novello said officers conducted a search of the car.

The search allegedly yielded a loaded pistol, over 1 ounce of suspected methamphetamine, over 2 ounces of suspected heroin and 2.5 pounds of marijuana, as well as items used in the sales of narcotics and various narcotic paraphernalia, the sergeant said.

All four were arrested on suspicion of firearm possession and narcotic sales offenses and were booked into Sonoma County Jail, according to Novello.
