Juvenile detention center inmate arrested for allegedly having narcotics behind bars

SYLMAR, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A juvenile detention center inmate was arrested for allegedly having narcotics behind bars.

After a months-long investigation, police arrested 22-year-old Nicholas Ibarra last week.

The arrest comes months after a report earlier this year about at least three other overdoses at that facility, but there is no information that connects Ibarra to those cases.

CORRECTION: We reported that Nicholas Ibarra was arrested for the overdose death of 18-year-old Bryan Diaz at Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall. That is incorrect, and we regret the error.
