Last Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at 10:06 AM, Antioch Police Officer Milner was conducting a routine patrol when he made a traffic stop at W. 2nd and I Streets. After speaking to the driver, Carlos España-Quintanilla, age 20 of Antioch, the officer saw a pair of brass knuckles on the center console. For those who don’t know, brass knuckles are illegal to own or possess in California.
Moreover, a loaded, unserialized P-80 firearm, known as a ghost gun, was discovered during a search of the car.
In California, it is illegal to be in possession or conceal a loaded firearm (on your person or vehicle) without a concealed carry permit. Additionally, possessing a loaded gun and not being the registered owner is also unlawful.
After discussing the finer points of law, the driver was arrested, charged with PC 25850(c)(6) carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle or public, PC 25400(a)(1) carrying a Concealed firearm, PC 25850(a) carrying a loaded firearm in public or in a vehicle, and PC 21810 it is illegally making, importing, selling, giving, or possessing metal knuckles, or brass knuckles, and taken to the county jail.
According to localcrimenews.com, España-Quintanilla was also arrested last November by San Francisco Sheriff’s Deputies for 243(D) – battery with serious bodily injury, 245(A)(1) – assault with a deadly weapon or assault with force likely to produce great bodily harm, and 273A(B) – cruelty to a child by inflicting injury.
Asked if España-Quintanilla has already been released from jail, Saffold responded, “probably.”
Keep up the excellent work, Officer Milner; your exploits are becoming the stuff of legend.
If you have acquired an unregistered or unserialized firearm, you can complete and submit a Firearm Ownership Report (FOR) Application, which goes to the CA Department of Justice for review. For more info, please visit: https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/online-reporting#nr
