Two Solano County Teens Arrested For Sawed-Off Shotgun

Solano County sheriff’s deputies arrested two 17-year-old boys on suspicion of carrying a sawed-off shotgun in an unincorporated area of Vallejo early Monday morning, a sheriff’s deputy said.

A citizen reported seeing the boys with the gun around 12:35 a.m. in the area of Lemon Street and Benicia Road, Deputy Darryl Snedeker said. One of the boys, who was carrying a backpack, fled when deputies contacted them around 12:45 a.m. but he returned a short time later without the backpack, Snedeker said.

Deputies found the backpack containing the sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun on the roof of a nearby residence, Snedeker said.

The gun was not loaded but 12-gauge ammunition was found nearby, Snedeker said. One of the juveniles was on probation and he was booked into juvenile hall for possession of a concealed firearm, possession of a sawed-off shotgun, conspiracy and a probation violation.

The other teen was booked for resisting arrest, possession of a concealed firearm, possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy, Snedeker said.
