permanently live on the side of the road here.
The Marin County Specialized Investigative Unit (SIU) conducted a month long investigation in February into Daniel Worthen, a convicted sex offender and 290 PC registrant, who lives in a trailer on Binford Road.
During the course of the investigation, detectives learned a third party suffered what appeared to be a fentanyl overdose inside of Worthen’s trailer. Worthen was the only other person inside of the trailer at the time of the overdose. Several days after the overdose, the third party was found deceased inside of his own trailer in the 8000 block of Binford Road. The toxicology report is pending.
On March 2, detectives conducted surveillance on Worthen at Binford Road and ultimately served a search warrant on him, his trailer, and the two vehicles he keeps parked in the area.
During the service of the warrant, detectives located methamphetamine possessed for the purposes of sales and fentanyl on Worthen’s person. Inside of the trailer, they located a loaded 9mm “ghost gun” pistol next to Worthen’s bed, marijuana possessed for the purposes of sales and a digital scale covered in suspected narcotic residue. Additionally, Worthen was in possession of stolen property that was taken in a reported auto burglary in San Francisco earlier in the day.
Worthen was booked at the Marin County Jail and is facing a number of charges, including possession of a firearm, narcotics and stolen property.
SIU takes a proactive approach to investigate narcotics related criminal activity and violent or major crimes throughout the unincorporated areas of Marin County as well as city jurisdictions that contribute to the SIU. SIU personnel primarily work in an undercover capacity.
WOW! This makes me change my mind about the whole Binford Road encampment. I thought they weren’t hurting anyone.
Unfair statement, One bad apple crazed, violent and abusive drug dealer, criminal does not represent all the other people in any community. I praise the The Marin County Sheriff’s Department and Specialized Investigative Unit (SIU) for their diligent investigation and arrest.
One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole barrel.
There’s scumbags every where. Your next door neighbor or even family member could be next, you never know who or what people are or be doing with there private lives. The people don’t male the places others live in. Don’t judge everyone who is hurting and suffering on this road bc 1 person decided to move there just like a new person moving into Ur neighborhoods doesn’t mean that you and ur area or street is now all shit kicking drugged up trash. The struggle is REAL! Let us come together to find a solution for the suffering and poor instead of ousting and judging them.
Do have any info to suggest that all the “residents” on Binford other than this single individual are good upstanding citizens? Have you ever heard of Bayes’s law of probability?
NOTICE TO ALL BUMS: Come to Novato and Marin…you are WELCOME!!!!
OMG! Unreal. Here, I thought they were all just poor disabled mentally ill patients who can’t get into a sanitarium because our politically incorrect government shut them all down during Ronald Reagan’s era.
I bet half of these people don’t even know who Ronald Reagan was. Hence, Probably didn’t come out of a sanitarium that was closed. Instead choose to live in a wagon train where they dispense their raw septic sewage out to the water ways, & leave their garbage for the traffic court drunk squad to clean up after them. Hey maybe still better than India’s Ganges River. Maybe, for now anyway.. When will they realize you can’t sh-t in your drinking water?
