Warrant issued for Healdsburg man after search uncovers meth

A Sonoma County warrant was issued Tuesday for the arrest of a Healdsburg man who was living in a home where a Healdsburg police search last week uncovered a cache of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Det. Nick Casteneda said the Sonoma County District Attorney's office approved the felony warrant for the arrest of Jeffrey Meier, 48 or 49, of Healdsburg on charges of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of paraphernalia  (hypodermic needles) and possession of a controlled substance (marijuana).

Casteneda said the warrant sets bail at $30,000 to $35,000 if and when Meier is located and arrested.

"He's on the run," Casteneda said. "But he knows we're looking for him."

On Friday, Aprl 1, at about 6 p.m., on Harold Lane, just southeast of

Police said they had obtained a warrant to search the home after several months of investigation into neighbors' reports of suspected drug activity at the residence. No one was home at the time of the search, police said.

Anyone with information on Meier's whereabouts may contact Healdsburg police at 707-431-3377.
