Oxnard: Parolee arrested for possessing a handgun

On Monday 3-9-15, cialis at at 3:45am, clinic officers responded to a call of a possible fight at a 24-hour restaurant located in the 1200 Block of North Oxnard Boulevard. Responding officers noticed one subject, order later identified as Marc Davis, 51 years, Oxnard resident, walking away from the disturbance to the rear of the restaurant. Davis attempted to hide behind a parked SUV. One officer then heard the sound of metal hitting the pavement. Davis was contacted and a loaded small caliber handgun was located near the SUV’s right rear tire. Davis was arrested.

Officers learned Davis is Post Release Offender (PRO) and is prohibited from possessing a firearm. The handgun was registered to another person. Davis was arrested for 25850(a)(4) PC, prohibited person in possession of a firearm, a felony, 25850(a)(6) PC, person in possession of a firearm not registered to them, a misdemeanor, and because of his PRO status was placed on a ten-day hold per 3454 PC.

The Post Release Offender (PRO) Program, created by Assembly Bill 109 (the “2011 Public Safety Realignment”), effective October 1, 2011, mandates that individuals sentenced to non-violent, non-serious, or non-sex offenses serve their sentences in county jails instead of state prison.

At the beginning of 2014, the Oxnard Police Department launched the Operation Safer and Stronger initiative, as well as the Firearms Strike Team (FAST) led by the Violent Crimes Unit to proactively remove firearms from prohibited persons in the city. The objective of the initiative and FAST was to reduce gun violence in Oxnard through education, intervention, and enforcement.
