Santa Cruz Police officers arrested a felon who was found in possession of heroin that was the size of a ping pong ball and methamphetamine.
Thanks to tips sent to the Neighborhood Policing Team, Richeed Whitehead was found in San Lorenzo Park and was known to have several run-ins with law enforcement officers as early as the 1990s.
Whitehead was on probation for his prior offenses and was sent directly to jail.
