Last week, while working on patrol, Officer Barrera stopped a vehicle for vehicle code violations. The vehicle was occupied by 3 subjects, one of which was on parole for manslaughter and had an outstanding warrant. During a search of the vehicle, officers located a fully loaded assault style weapon without a serial number.
Great work by Officer Barrera who turned a traffic violation into the arrest of a wanted subject and took a dangerous weapon off the street.

Only a terrorist would carry a loaded automatic firearm around town. It is hard to imagine any legitimate reason to do so. I hope there are three less terrorists on the street because of this officer’s good work.
