On Friday, July 21, 2023, at approximately 6:27 p.m., deputies responded to the 5500-block of Hollister for a report of a subject who had passed out in a vehicle.
When deputies arrived, they contacted 24-year-old Dawson Geoffry Carter in his vehicle in the parking lot of a business. Deputies determined that Carter had driven to the business while being under the influence and he was subsequently arrested.
During a search of Carter’s vehicle, deputies found a clandestine drug manufacturing lab with numerous controlled substances including methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, MDMA, and psilocybin along with evidence of drug sales and manufacturing.
Carter was booked at the main jail for driving under the influence (misdemeanor), possession of burglary tools (misdemeanor), maintaining a lab for manufacturing drugs (felony), drug sales (felony), and transportation for sales (felony) and was later released on bail.
The Sheriff’s Office would like to acknowledge the good Samaritan who reported this suspected DUI driver. Thanks to that reporting party, a DUI driver was taken off the streets along with a significant amount of dangerous drugs.
Dawson smart, … like brick.
That stuff gives major Jesse Pinkman vibes
It’s such a shame that a kid who is that smart had to go down the wrong path..he obviously didn’t belong there…I’m sorry for whatever life he lived that led him there. He probably could’ve done some really good things if he was doing right and got some help and stayed away from that…praying for his future and his recovery.. I hope he finds his worth and he is young enough to still come out of it and prosper
