Police man arrested on drug charges

A man was arrested at Cher's home in California on Thursday afternoon.

The detectives from Ventura County were called to Malibu's residence after learning that the 23-year-old – who would be the son of Cher's assistant – was linked to a recent overdose in Thousand Oaks, California.

"The target of the search warrant is Donovan Ruiz," said the sergeant. Eric Buschow confirmed to people. "His arrest is related to a drug overdose that occurred in the past two weeks."

Ruiz lives at the residence, according to the police.

Garo Kuredjian, captain of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, told PEOPLE that the investigators had determined that Ruiz was responsible for supplying narcotics to a victim, who later died of an overdose in mid-September.

While it was confirmed that the arrest had taken place at Cher's residence, Sgt. Buschow explained that the 72-year-old singer had nothing to do with the incident, which involved several patrol cars, fire trucks and ambulances.

The investigators are still on the scene to execute the search warrant and Ruiz has been detained.

Although TMZ was the first to announce the news and claimed that Ruiz was the son of Cher's assistant, the detectives in Ventura County could not confirm his relationship with Cher.

Cher was not at home during Thursday's incident. She is currently on an international tour and her next show will take place on September 28 in Brisbane, Australia.

The brilliant performer recently spoke to PEOPLE about embracing her character and off-stage style at home.

"It's not a difference in who I am, but it's an increased reality. You know, you can not continue to be glamorous Cher all the time, "she says in the new issue of PEOPLE.

"I'm just going around in my sweatpants. I do not wear makeup, I have my hair in a ponytail – I love my free time, "adds the award winner Emmy, Grammy and Oscar. "I do not like to be glamorous. I just like being dirty.
