PALMDALE – A Palmdale neighborhood was locked down for about 30 minutes Tuesday afternoon as deputies swarmed the area searching for a suspected drug dealer and his two alleged accomplices.
The incident began around 4 p.m. near 11th Street East and Avenue Q-11, authorities said.
A deputy patrolling the area recognized a parolee with “search conditions,” who was known for selling drugs, according to Lt. Wright of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.
“The deputy made contact with the [parolee], and the suspect immediately pulled out a baggy of methamphetamine, threw it on the ground, and then tried to lay on top of it,” Wright said. “Another person ran in and tried to grab the bag the [parolee] had thrown on the ground.”
The deputy ordered the second guy away, but then a third man approached the deputy in a threatening manner, Wright said.
“[He was] acting as though he might have a gun, reaching into his waistband,” Wright said, adding that the parolee/alleged drug dealer ran off as the deputy was dealing with the third man.
The third suspect initially got away as well, and several deputies, aided by a sheriff’s helicopter, searched the neighborhood for all three suspects.
About 30 minutes later, the man who had allegedly approached the deputy in a threatening manner and pretended to have a gun, was captured, Wright said.
Eighteen-year-old Sodel Wissar was arrested around 5:01 p.m. on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony and booked at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station on $20,000 bail.
Tuesday evening, deputies were still hunting the parolee/alleged drug dealer and the second suspect.

Dangerous bumbling idiots! Two guys come to the aid of the drug dealer to confuse the situation, and it did for a minute. Bag of meth was used, one guy gets caught, and the other two will get caught sooner or later. They will all get released at some point, and the dangerous bumbling idiots will be at it again! Figure out a way to change your mind-set and turn your life around before it’s too late.

Antelope Valley needs a major house cleaning. Drugs are a scourge on our society and greatly diminishes quality of life.
Jimmy Q Stewart says
Great. ANtelope Valley is becoming more and more like the Los ANgeles inner city. Helicopters and all. This is definately not a place I would want to create roots in. Police, thugs and everyone in between. Its sad how the thugs and police destroy the quality of life for everyone. Just another sign that people cant manage themselves. Next the thugs or police will be making false police reports simply to destroy peoples lives. Los Angeles certainly is not the place for me.
