P.G. Woman Arrested In Drug Lab Bust

Miles Clifford Farmer, 32, of Prunedale and Amanda Miyo Farmer, 29, of Pacific Grove were sitting in two cars behind the Motel 6 at 100 Reservation Road in Marina around 9 a.m. when officers ran one of the license plates and discovered that Miles Farmer was a parolee-at-large. Lt. Bob Nolan said officers also learned that Farmer had a previous conviction for operating a meth lab.

When the vehicles were searched, officers discovered a black satchel in one containing items that looked like a portable methamphetamine lab.

Frank Abbruzzetti, 34, was taken into custody shortly after 5:30 p.m. Friday at his home at 316 Prescott lane after an anonymous caller reported methamphetamine was being “cooked” at the residence.

Responding officers said they arrived to find Abbruzzetti smoking a meth pipe inside as they walked up to the open front door.

Two women in the house were detained for questioning and released without charge. Abbruzzetti, a graduate of Humboldt State University with a degree in chemistry, had taught at Pacific Grove Middle School and was an unemployed substitute teacher and youth recreation coach.

Nicholas Gore approached Pacific Grove police two weeks ago with an odd tale. The 18-year-old said a group of strangers had beaten, robbed and abducted him at gunpoint from the normally sleepy Country Club Gate Shopping Center. The randomness of the purported crime sent shudders through Butterfly Town, USA.

But now police say Gore invented the story to cover up a drug deal gone bad. Gore was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of making a false report to police. He was cited for the misdemeanor charge and released.
