On October 8, at approximately 8:20 p.m., Officers from the Oxnard Police Department Special Enforcement Unit (gang unit) conducted a traffic stop of a gold Toyota Camry at Pleasant Valley Road and Rice Avenue for a traffic violation.  Officers contacted Cesar Guerrero (22yrs) and Christian Vargas (18yrs) in the vehicle.  Guerrero and Vargas are known criminal street gang members within the City of Oxnard.  Guerrero is on Post Release Supervision for prior firearms possession and is a prohibited person from possession of firearms and ammunition.  Vargas is currently on probation for assault with a deadly weapon and is a prohibited person from possession of firearms and ammunition.

 

Officers conducted a search, exercising Guerrero’s and Vargas’ search terms, and located a loaded .45 caliber Llama Minima semi-automatic handgun, a loaded 9-millimeter Ruger semi-automatic handgun and multiple calibers of additional ammunition.  Guerrero was also found in possession of approximately a quarter ounce of methamphetamine.  Guerrero and Vargas were arrested for firearms and narcotics related charges and booked into the Ventura County Jail.

 

Guerrero is currently in 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.
