6 Arrested For Weapons Charges After Probation Check

VALLEJO, CA – Six men, some on various probation status, were arrested last week after a search by Solano County Sheriff's deputies allegedly turned up several weapons at a Vallejo home, according to authorities.

Members of the Sheriff's Enforcement Team on Thursday afternoon conducted a post-release, community-supervision compliance check at a residence on the 200 block of Sage Street, the Solano County Sheriff's Office said today.

During the check, deputies found six loaded, high-capacity magazines, three unregistered, loaded handguns and two AR-15- style, or semi-automatic, rifles -- of which all occupants inside the house denied any knowledge, the agency said.

"A record check revealed several of the male subjects inside the home were either ex-felons, or living at the home on active probation with search terms, making it illegal to own or possess any firearms or ammunition," deputes said. "Because all men on scene, denied knowing anything about the weapons or ammunition located inside the home, all six subjects were subsequently arrested on an array of weapon and probation violations.

Arrested were: Markwez King, 18; Marlon King, 21; Joemari King, 21; Andrew Willis, 28; Jonathon Wallace, 21; and a 17-year-old male juvenile.

The Sheriff's Enforcement Team was formed to act as the enforcement arm for Solano County Probation regarding people arrested and sentenced under AB109, according to the department.
