News Release
On June 9th, 2022, at approximately 9:40 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Special Enforcement Unit (Gang Unit) were conducting a patrol in the South Winds neighborhood when they observed wanted subject Isaac Guzman driving a vehicle in the south alley of the 400 blk. of Canterbury Wy.
Officers were aware that Guzman is a Post Release Offender and that he has a felony warrant for a PROS violation with an original commitment offense of possession of a firearm by a felon or addict.
The Post Release Offender Program, created by Assembly Bill 109 – the 2011 Public Safety Realignment – that was effective October 1, 2011.
This program mandates that individuals sentenced to non-violent, non-serious (irrespective of priors) or non-sex offenses will serve their sentences in county jails instead of state prison. The public should be aware that release under AB 109 is based on the offender’s most recent committing offense. Prior convictions are not considered.
When officers attempted to stop Guzman, Guzman put his vehicle in reverse and accelerated in the alley. Guzman collided with another motorist that was stopped in the alley and then fled on foot. Guzman was apprehended after a brief struggle and was taken into custody for his felony warrant, resisting arrest, and for hit and run causing injury (complaint of pain).
Officers searched the vehicle Guzman was driving and located a loaded 9 millimeter Glock-style Polymer 80 semi-automatic handgun. Polymer 80 semi-automatic handguns are commercially sold as incomplete, without serial numbers, and must be further manufactured to make them into functioning firearms.
