Unrelated to the Warrant, a DUI driver collided into a Seaside vehicle and an adult female was subsequently arrested, (no injuries).
Seaside and Monterey Detectives later located Born and arrested him. A search warrant of his home uncovered over 6 ounces of fentanyl, a firearm and over 16k in cash. Born was arrested and charged with manslaughter and numerous drug trafficking Felonies. Seaside and Monterey Peninsula are safer communities as a result of this apprehension. We would like to thank the Monterey Police Department for their assistance in this investigation and our Seaside detectives for their diligent and dedicated investigation!”
