Beaumont Parolee Arrested During Yucaipa Raid By RivCo Gang Task Force

BEAUMONT, CA — A Beaumont parolee was behind bars Thursday after being snared in a raid by gang task force officers.

Daniel Casey, 39, was arrested early Tuesday afternoon after a search warrant was served at a residence in the 13000 block of Maplewood Drive in Yucaipa.

Riverside County Gang Impact Team members were looking for drugs and weapons at the home and found thousands of rounds of ammunition, nine firearms, approximately one ounce of methamphetamine, and approximately two grams of suspected fentanyl, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Casey was being held at Banning's Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility on suspicion of violating the terms of his state parole. No bail was set for him.

William Pedrino, 54, of Yucaipa was identified as a suspect in the investigation but was not listed in Riverside County jail records.

The Riverside County Gang Task Force is a collaborative effort of several law enforcement agencies with the goal of combating criminal street gangs, according to the sheriff's department.
