Drug laden bedroom leads to big Boyes bust

A Boyes Hot Springs man ended up in jail after deputies found a veritable pharmacy in the man’s room.

According to a report from the Valley substation, deputies were sent to a disturbance in the 19000 block of Loretta Court at around 7 p.m. Thursday, May 7. A mother told deputies she had been having problems with her 23-year-old son who she described as having drug and alcohol issues.

She told deputies she didn’t want her son’s friends in the house when she wasn’t home and said that when she pulled up that evening, she saw people jumping out of the windows. She and her son wrestled over her phone when she tried to call the sheriff’s office and he broke the phone and refused to let her back into the house. She didn’t want her son charged in connection with her broken phone but wanted him out of the house.

The woman gave deputies permission to enter her residence. When deputies entered, they located Malcolm J. Robbins, 23, in his bedroom with the door shut. He said he’d talk, but wouldn’t let them in nor would he open the door.

A deputy, looking through a window, spotted a large bowl of marijuana and some yellow capsules in the son’s room.

Finally, the Robbins agreed to speak to the deputies and denied wrestling with his mother. Robbins agreed to leave the residence, but before leaving, he opened a desk drawer, drawing the attention of deputies. In the drawer, reportedly, were some prescription pills. Deputies identified the various pills as Valium, Buprenorphine, Tramadol and some other unidentifiable white pills. Deputies continued their search and found a cardboard box that contained a large amount of white powder, a scale with a brown substance on it, numerous plastic bags, a second scale, a $1 bill rolled into a tube, numerous loose pills including Viagra, Tramadol and Propanolol.

The deputies searched a backpack and found more pills.

When they added it up, the deputies had 825 Valium, 3 Amitriptyline, 59 Tramadol, 6.5 Buprenorphine, 36 Propanolol, 3 Viagra, 25 Gabapentin, 6 Tagament HB, 23 broken unidentifiable pills and 39.9 grams of an unidentifiable white powder.

Robbins, of Boyes Hot Springs, was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of controlled substance paraphernalia and felony possession or purchase of controlled substance for sale, and was transported to county jail.
