Traffic stop in Kern County leads to arrest after deputies uncover large drug stash

On September 15, 2025, around 8:00 a.m., Kern County Sheriff’s deputies from the Rosamond Substation pulled over a vehicle near Rosamond Boulevard and Sierra Highway. The driver, Bridget Ray, was already on felony probation for a prior narcotics sales case.

During a probation search, deputies found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the car. A follow-up search at Ray’s residence revealed much more:

  • A backpack containing about 1,365 oxycodone pills packaged for sale

  • Psilocybin mushrooms

  • Additional methamphetamine

  • Mail linking Ray to the drugs

Authorities estimate the street value of the oxycodone pills at $40,950.

Since the residence sits near a school, Ray now faces enhanced charges for drug sales in a school zone.

She was arrested and booked on multiple charges, including:

  • Possession for sale of a controlled substance

  • Possession of narcotics paraphernalia

  • Sales of narcotics near a school
