Antioch police arrest five Deer Valley High students for gambling, gun, marijuana charges, Wednesday morning
According to a post on the Antioch Police Department’s Facebook page on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, “around 8:30 am, Antioch police detectives conducted undercover surveillance in the area of Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley Road. At this time a group of teenagers was observed possibly engaged in illegal gambling.
When detectives attempted contact, the group scattered and five male juveniles were ultimately detained and arrested. All five were found to be current Deer Valley High School students.
One was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm, one was arrested for possession of marijuana and probation violation, two were arrested for gambling, and the last was arrested for loitering.
Operations such as this are part of our continuing effort to increase the safety in and around Deer Valley High School and Deer Valley Plaza.”
