A 51-year-old parolee was in custody Thursday, accused of being in possession of methamphetamine.

Deputies were dispatched to the 22900 block of Thornhill Drive in Menifee about 11 a.m. Wednesday on a report of a trespasser on the property, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Menifee resident Raul Antunez was located hiding inside a detached building on the property, sheriff’s officials said.

Deputies did a records check and determined that Antunez was a parolee and was wanted for an unspecified crime. He also was allegedly found in possession of 5.5 grams of meth, according to sheriff’s officials.

Antunez was arrested on suspicion of a parole violation and possessing a controlled substance and booked at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta without bail.
