Guns, drugs found in LA day care center

LOS ANGELES - Police found a stash of guns, cocaine and cash hidden alongside toys in a day care center, authorities said.

Maria Castellon, 47, the center's owner, was booked on suspicion of possessing cocaine for resale and held on more than $2 million bail, police said Wednesday.

The haul included 14 kilograms of cocaine, 50 pounds of marijuana, several guns and $300,000 cash, police Lt. Paul Vernon said. He said the woman's drug operation catered to Skid Row, an area known for its homeless and drug-addicted population.

"In the same place as cellophane-wrapped cocaine and marijuana and a loaded assault rifle and three handguns we found children's toys," Vernon said.

Castellon had an unlisted number and could not be reached for comment. It wasn't immediately clear if she had a lawyer. The duplex where she ran the day-care business was raided after authorities received a tip, Vernon said.

Would it be so funny if it was your kids daycare? The libs symapathy runs about as deep as a dry creek bed. So much empathy for the Iraqi people,people in Darfur. Yet making jokes about a drug ridden daycare and chiding an individual that takes a stand on values.

It's not even a challenge Lucky. They float aimlessly in a boat with no oars! Thats why they hate me so much! All the while claiming compassion for the ones they choose and spewing hate to the ones they disagree with. It's so obvious and so will the denial that is sure to follow.
