Millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs were seized from a couple’s home in San Clemente last week, after Simi Valley police found drugs and money in the car of a woman dropping off her boyfriend for a probation appointment, according to officials.
The vehicle was searched by police per the man’s probation terms, and officers found approximately two kilograms of ketamine and $8,000 in U.S. currency, according to a Simi Valley Police Department statement.
The couple, Jason Klausmeyer, 45, and April Baird, 39, from San Clemente, were both arrested on suspicion of possession and transportation of ketamine for sales. A search warrant was also served at the couple’s home and storage units in San Clemente, according to the statement.
Police say the following was retrieved from the home, totaling about $2.1 million:
- 85,000 counterfeit Adderall pills (methamphetamine)
- 25,000 Ecstasy pills (MDMA)
- 30 pounds of ketamine
- 1 pound of fentanyl
- 7 pounds of cocaine
- 10 pounds of Psilocybin (mushrooms)
- $13,505 in U.S. Currency

Based on the initial investigation, police say they believe the suspects are working on manufacturing illicit drugs at their home, and also transporting and selling illegal narcotics in Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
