Newsom takes plea deal in drug seizure case

Bullhead City residents await sentencing after entering plea agreements resolving their drug cases. Police reportedly seized 19 grams of heroin, five grams of methamphetamine and about 12 grams of marijuana during a search last August of a home that the defendants shared in the 2100 block of Swan Place.

Ryan Newsom, 36, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reduced charge of attempted possession of a narcotic drug for sale. Methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges are dismissed in the plea agreement.

Newsom faces a two- to seven-year prison term when sentenced May 7.

Co-defendant Desiree Castaneda, 23, also pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a narcotic drug for sale. She faces punishment ranging from probation up to 3.5 years in prison when sentenced May 24.
