A. Count

On September 17, 2010, Arana called Mandujano and said he wanted $20 worth of

“negra,” slang for heroin. Mandujano said to meet him at 613 North Holmes in Ontario.

Arana and Galvez dressed in plain clothes and drove an unmarked police car to the

address Mandujano had given them. Mandujano was waiting outside when they arrived.

Arana walked up to Mandujano and said he wanted $20 worth of heroin. Mandujano said

he did not have any heroin with him but he would call a friend to deliver some to the

house. Mandujano made a phone call and said his friend would be there shortly. Five to

10 minutes later, defendant arrived on a bicycle.

Arana gave Mandujano $20, which he handed to defendant, who gave Mandujano

two balloons and left on his bike. The officers took the balloons back to the police

department. Lab analysis determined the substances recovered weighed 0.07 grams and

0.13 grams and contained heroin.
