Last week, California Highway Patrol officers in Yreka responded to a report of a man brandishing a firearm near the Fuel 24/7 gas station on Easy Street.
Officers quickly located a male matching the description. The 18-year-old, who was intoxicated, was apprehended. Officers seized a loaded Glock 19 with an extended 31-round magazine from him. The firearm was later confirmed to be stolen from Chico, California.
The man was arrested for weapons violations and public intoxication.
We want to thank the concerned motorists who promptly reported this incident. Your vigilance allowed our officers to take swift and appropriate action, ensuring the safety of the public.
