Two people were arrested on felony firearms charges Sunday after CAL FIRE officers responded to reports of possible fireworks being thrown from a moving vehicle in Susanville, according to a news release from the Lassen Modoc Unit.
CAL FIRE law enforcement officers arrived at the scene around 3 p.m. on July 6 and conducted a traffic stop. During the investigation, they discovered the individuals in the vehicle were in possession of multiple firearms, not fireworks as initially reported. Shell casings were also found in the vicinity where gunshots were allegedly heard.
One suspect was arrested for a felony parole violation under Penal Code 3056, and the other was booked for possession of an assault weapon under Penal Code 30605. Both were transported to Lassen County Jail.
CAL FIRE expressed its appreciation to the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office for assisting in the investigation.
