Eureka Man Arrested In Petaluma On Gun Charges

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch
PETALUMA (BCN) ― A 19-year-old Eureka man was arrested in Petaluma Saturday night after police found a loaded handgun in his car with the serial number removed.

Royce Justin Moorehead was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a firearm without a serial number, police said.

His passenger, Juan Quintero, was cited for possession of marijuana and released.

Police saw Moorehead and Quintero sitting a parked car behind the Henny Penny restaurant at 4995 Petaluma Blvd. North around 11:55 p.m. Saturday.

Officers searched the car and found a loaded handgun under the front seat. The gun's serial number had been removed. Police said they also found gang paraphernalia, a box of ammunition and marijuana.

Moorehead, who police allege is a gang member, was booked into Sonoma County jail. Bail was set at $10,000.

Police said the case is still under investigation.
