Police in Vallejo arrested a man this weekend after he allegedly fired an unregistered firearm in a parking lot.
On Saturday, officers received multiple calls reporting a man with a gun sitting next to a red vehicle parked in a parking lot on the 200 block of Tennessee Street, between Santa Clara and Sacramento streets. Police were also notified through a gunshot detection system that at least one shot had been fired at the same block.
When police arrived, they found a man standing next to the red car. While officers were speaking with the man, police said they found spent shell casings on the ground.
According to police, the man then admitted to officers that he had a firearm in his pocket. The man was arrested and officers found the firearm, which was unregistered, in his jacket.
“We express our gratitude to the vigilant community members who immediately reported this incident, allowing our officers to once again remove a dangerous illegal firearm from our streets!” the department said on social media Monday.
The man was arrested and booked into the Solano County Jail. His identity has not been released.
