Search for fugitive ends with obstruction arrest

San Diego County Sheriff’s Department served a felony search warrant Friday afternoon at a house at Sixth and B streets but did not find a 25-year-old Ramona male wanted in connection with the department’s recent undercover drug operation, said Sgt. Dave Ross.

Dubbed Operation Mountain Shadow, the year-long, multi-agency investigation culminated Sept. 10 with the arrests of 73 people, 41 of whom were from Ramona.

While serving the search warrant around 4 p.m. Friday, Ross said the sheriff’s department arrested one male, suspected of obstruction, and were questioning others at the scene.
