Pair arrested for heroin possession in Hayden Memorial Library

Three syringes of possible heroin shoved into the second floor men’s restroom in the library are shown on Sept. 24.

A man and woman were arrested and charged for heroin possession on Sept. 21, at 2:46 p.m. in the Hayden Memorial Library.

“There’s no indication in the report that these suspects were Citrus College students.” said Jason Tibbetts, a Glendora Police officer.

Glendora police identified the two suspects as Zachary Haralson, 30, and Veronica Garcia, 21.

Campus Safety were alerted by librarians. Within a few minutes Haralson and Garcia were detained on the second-floor restroom by Glendora police.

The two suspects were held in police custody for a couple of hours.

“We released them on citation,” Tibbetts said. “They will appear in court about a month from now.”

Tibbetts said the alleged crime of heroin possession is a misdemeanor. If convicted, the two suspects may be fined up to $1000 and spend less than a year in the county jail.
