Last Thursday afternoon, Dec. 14, Healdsburg Police Department Officers executed a search warrant at a Cloverdale residence, with the cooperation of Cloverdale Police.
The warrant was a result of a prior arrest by Healdsburg Police involving a stolen vehicle. That arrest took place on Sept. 28 of this year, when Ramon Macias was located driving a stolen vehicle on March Ave. The vehicle had previously been reported stolen out of San Leandro.
During the execution of the search warrant on Dec. 14, officers discovered three rifles, a handgun and several pounds of marijuana. One of the rifles was characterized as an illegal firearm, an AR-15 pattern rifle with assault weapon features.
Ramon Macias, a 39-year-old resident of Cloverdale, was arrested and booked into Sonoma County Jail. He has since been released, but is facing charges of illegally possessing an assault weapon, marijuana sales and violating pre-trial terms.
