‘Laguna Beach’ star caught up in drug bust
Laguna Beach is getting a little stormy. Last week, police raided an Orange County home rented by Alex Murrel, who appeared on MTV’s “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.” They arrested her Peruvian boyfriend for felony possession of cocaine with intent to sell.
According to Sgt. Jason Kravetz of the Laguna Beach Police Department, Immigration and Customs enforcement requested the raid. The agency believed her boyfriend, Renzo Gamboa, was in the U.S. illegally. And there was plenty of illegal, as in cocaine, which Gamboa admitted to owning.
“The immigration people came down and asked us for assistance. They found him at the girlfriend’s house and we assisted them, but we had a new charge to add on because of the cocaine in the house which was his,” Kravetz told E! News.
Murrel, the lead on the second season of Laguna Beach, was questioned as a witness but is not expected to face charges. Her boyfriend, however was arrested and booked on a felony charge of possession for sales. He’s currently in county lockup on an immigration hold.
