Temecula Man, 18, Arrested for Allegedly Selling Drugs to Minors

LA QUINTA (CNS) - A Temecula man suspected of selling different
illicit substances to minors across the Coachella Valley was behind bars today.
  

Albert Lorenzo Gamez, 18, was booked into the Benoit Detention Center
in Indio on Wednesday on suspicion of furnishing marijuana to a minor,
contributing to the delinquency of a minor and willful harm to a child,
according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
  

Deputies responded to a report of a juvenile suffering from a medical
emergency on Feb. 20 in the 43400 block of Palm Royale Drive in La Quinta,
according to sheriff's Sgt. Mark Chlarson.
  

They discovered that a young adult had bought and consumed an
unspecified illegal drug, Chlarson said. The individual was taken to a local
hospital in stable vital signs.
