Yahoo!Santa Barbara Police announced today that several months of investigation by narcotics officers had resulted in the March 5 arrest of a 24-year-old Santa Barbara resident on charges of possession of cocaine, sale of cocaine, child endangerment, and using a child to help make drug sales. Also arrested was a juvenile, who is currently being held in juvenile hall on charges possession and sale of cocaine and child endangerment.
According to a statement from police spokesperson Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte, after having long suspected the man of dealing drugs from his apartment in the 500 block of West Pueblo Street, officers obtained a warrant for the man’s apartment, searched it, and found approximately one ounce of powder cocaine, $4,494 cash, scales and packaging materials. The child endangerment charges stem from the fact that a 5-year-old also lived in the arrested man’s apartment.

Police officers are not deputies, they are "officers" or detectives. Maybe you should edit that.

That location (500 W. Pueblo St.) is the Oak Park neighborhood, not "Westside".
Every place west of State St. is not simply "Westside".

No way! Some kids sold drugs in Goleta? You have to put this out on the national wire.

Hey Streetfighter --
Actually, if you pay attention to the graffiti and listen to what SB gangsters actually claim, the Westside isn't just limited to west of 101. It does include parts of the Oak Park neighborhood, especially those closer to Mission and the Junipero Street walkramp, such as West Pueblo. This is Westside dealing at its finest, in fact.
You should know that as a streetfighter yo.
Peace out.

Right, because we should let the gangbangers define our neighborhoods for us.
