Presley Gerber’s Sober Living Facility Owner Has Criminal History

The proprietor of the sober living home where Presley Gerber tragically passed away has a troubling criminal background involving drug offenses and minors.

As reported by Page Six, Dr. Reza Nabavi was taken into custody in February 2002 after Oakland police discovered him asleep in his vehicle in a notorious area known for high rates of narcotics and prostitution.

During the incident, Nabavi was reportedly in the company of a 15-year-old girl, who informed the authorities that she was under the influence of meth and did not know him well. At that time, Nabavi was 25 years old.

A search of his vehicle revealed the presence of methamphetamine, marijuana, a firearm, ammunition, and a hunting knife.

In May of the same year, he pleaded no contest to a charge of possession of a controlled substance, which is classified as a misdemeanor, and received a sentence of 36 months probation.

Later that month, Nabavi faced arrest once more after he agreed to sell meth to an undercover informant. He once again pleaded no contest to another misdemeanor for possession of a controlled substance and received another 36 months probation.

According to Page Six, two years later, Nabavi attempted to register as a psychologist with the California Board of Psychology but was denied due to his criminal conviction.

He eventually secured his license, but as reported earlier, it was temporarily revoked in 2006, leading to a five-year probation period.
