The subject was identified as Andreas Sala McDaniel (58 years old of Eureka). A records check of McDaniel revealed an active warrant for his arrest for giving false identification to a peace officer. An incident to arrest search of McDaniel led to the seizure of over 5 grams of suspected methamphetamine and items consistent with possession for sales.
