Investigators Yield Drugs, Guns, Two Arrest in Fairfield

Two men were arrested and notable stashes of methamphetamine and firearms were seized Friday, the culmination of a Fairfield Police Department investigation, officers said Saturday.

Joseph Johnson, 48, and Santos Sandoval, 37, both of Fairfield, were arrested Friday as part of an ongoing drug- and weapon-related investigation.

Two Fairfield locations - the 1300 block of Cleveland Street and the 2300 block of Woolner Avenue - were searched by police Friday. Between the two locations, a "substantial amount" of methamphetamine and nine illegal firearms were found and seized, police said.

Johnson and Sandoval were both arrested on suspicion of various drug- and weapons-related charges. Sandoval also was also arrested on suspicion of committing a new felony while out on bail from a previous felony conviction.
