Nice Job Team Duke

Search Warrant and Arrest for Drug Sales

On August 13, 2025, the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit, with assistance from Crime Scene Investigations, Violent Crimes, Property Crimes and patrol, executed a search warrant at residences in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park. During the ex*****on of the warrant, the Narcotics Unit K9, Duke, alerted to a location at one of the residences. Detectives and patrol deputies then located over 8 pounds of methamphetamine, over a pound of he**in, and over $15,000 in cash.

The target of the investigation, Antonio Medina, 49, from Rohnert Park was arrested for possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of he**in for sale, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. Detectives obtained a bail enhancement from a Superior Court judge, and Medina is being held without bail.

Deputies also contacted Luis Alfonso Ruiz Gonzalez, 41, of Santa Rosa. Gonzalez resisted and fought with deputies during the detention and was arrested for resisting a peace officer. He was released on $5,000 bail.

This last week I had a fantastic time in Tualatin Oregon working with the Police Department on testing and selecting their new Detection Dog K9 Drea. Her handler did an outstanding job testing and working her over the 5 day process. She performed excellently and nobody could resist her cuteness. Although she will be missed by all of us at Golden Gate K9, I’m so happy she now has a job and a forever home with her new loving family. Team Drea will be doing great work serving within their community.

🐾 Big Reveal Time! 🐾

It looks like the cat’s already partially out of the bag… so let’s spill it completely. Surprise! It’s not a cat at all—it’s a dog! 🎉

Meet K-9 Drea, Tualatin PD’s newest drug detection dog! 🐶✨

Drea is an 11-month-old Springer Spaniel who just joined us from Golden Gate K9 in California. She’s trained to detect methamphetamine, fentanyl, co***ne, and he**in, and she’s already making a great impression with her smarts and energy.

Over the next few months, Drea will be working toward certification through the Oregon Police Canine Association, and when she’s ready, she’ll begin full-time detection work with her handler, Officer Sam Radakovich.

Help us give a warm welcome to K-9 Drea—we’re thrilled to have her as the newest member of our public safety family! 💙🐾
