On June 3, 2020, at approximately 4:30 PM, officers assigned to the Downtown Policing Unit conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in the area of Central Ave and Wilson Ave.  The driver, identified as 47-year-old John Godosis of Culver City, was found to be in possession of over $4,000 in cash, along with several access cards belonging to other people and a receipt from a grocery store showing that one of those cards had been used to purchase items earlier in the day. 

The passenger, identified as 48-year-old Panagiotis Godosis, admitted to just being released from County Jail a few hours prior to this stop and was found to be on probation.  A search of the vehicle revealed a bag containing a digital scale along with 28 individually packaged baggies of suspected cocaine.  John and Panagiotis Godosis were subsequently arrested for transportation and possession of illegal drugs for sales and were booked into custody.  John Godosis was additionally booked on a felony identity theft charge.  Both males were later released from custody with a notice to appear in court due to the State of California’s emergency “Zero Dollar” bail schedule.
