“Last night Deputies Fernandez and Gonzalez were on patrol when they spotted a vehicle belonging to a wanted subject stopped at a gas station on Green Valley Rd. The deputies contacted the car’s occupants, Jamie Rivera, Martin Arvizu, a 17-year-old female, and two small children.
Rivera was detained for his warrant, and a search of the vehicle was conducted due to his probation terms. A loaded ghost gun was located inside the driver’s side door compartment, and a second loaded firearm was located inside a backpack belonging to Arvizu.
Also found in the vehicle were open alcohol containers and a large quantity of marijuana. Both are convicted felons and were arrested and transported to county jail on various felony charges.”
