Folsom Police Arrest Roseville Man on Narcotics, Gun Possession Charges – Folsom Times

38-year-old is being held without bail

A 38-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after Folsom police officers serving a search warrant at his Roseville home uncovered a large stash of counterfeit drugs and illegal firearms. According to Folsom Police, Bentley Maslanka was arrested following an earlier vehicle stop and subsequent search warrant execution in the 2900 block of McCloud Way.

Over the past few weeks, investigators with the Folsom Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) have been following leads regarding the sale of illegal narcotics in Folsom and surrounding areas in Placer and Sacramento Counties.

Their investigation led them to Maslanka, who was contacted during a vehicle stop outside his residence. During a search of his vehicle, investigators discovered approximately 1,000 counterfeit Alprazolam (Xanax) pills.

A search of Maslanka’s home turned up even more drugs: an additional 2,000 counterfeit Alprazolam pills, approximately 3,000 counterfeit Adderall pills, over 1,000 Suboxone strips and a large quantity of injectable steroids. Also found in the apartment was a .22 caliber rifle and cash believed to be the proceeds of drug sales. Prior to the investigation, Maslanka was prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.

These counterfeit pills, which often mimic prescription drugs, often contain fentanyl, a powerful and dangerous opioid. Over the past year, Folsom police have investigated numerous drug-related overdoses, with murder charges filed against drug dealers in four cases.

Maslanka was booked into the South Placer County Jail on several alleged charges related to the sale of firearms and narcotics. A Placer County judge increased his bail to no bail after initially setting it at $200,000.

Folsom Police thanked their partners at the Roseville Police Department for their assistance in the investigation.

“Our SIU detectives are committed to protecting the Folsom community from narcotics and the dangers associated with drug sales,” the department said in a press release.

Anyone with information about illegal drug activity in their neighborhood is asked to submit tips to the Folsom Police Department tip line at (916) 930-1098.
