Duo Passes Out At Gas Station; Baggy Of Heroin: Murrieta PD Logs

Thursday evening Officer Bradley responded to the AM/PM to check on the welfare of a male and female passed out in a car parked at a gas pump. We all know that driving while tired is just as bad as driving while intoxicated, so we do encourage you to pull over and rest when you need a #powernap. We do not, however, encourage you to use narcotics until you pass out. Officer Bradley arrested the driver, Ronald Schaeffer for the possession of a controlled substance and the violation of his probation. His passenger, Ariel Barazone was also arrested for the possession of paraphernalia. Both were booked into #CBDC. #justsayno

Early Friday morning an #observantcitizen called dispatch to report a suspicious vehicle across from his house. Officer Gannuscio responded and contacted eight people in two cars. During his investigation, Officer Gannuscio located prescription narcotics and a replica firearm in the possession of Salvador Farias. Salvador didn’t have a prescription for the narcotics and he couldn’t explain why he had an altered replica firearm either. #mystery Salvador spent the rest of the night in #thebyrdhouse.

Officer Gannuscio was busy over the weekend. Sunday morning he responded to the area of Murrieta Mesa High School to investigate a robbery. Before you worry, you need to remember that Officer Gannuscio works nights and that this robbery occurred at 3:30 a.m. The victim stated that he was on a walk near MMHS when he was approached by two males that brandished a handgun and demanded the victim’s money and cell phone. #nothinggoodhappensaftermidnight While Officer Gannuscio was talking to the victim, Officer Huss began checking the area for the suspects. It didn’t take long before he found them at a nearby gas station.

Officer Huss contacted two adult males and three juvenile males in the vehicle that the victim described. The driver of the vehicle was a 15 year old male who decided it was a good idea to take his mom’s car out for a spin. #notagoodidea #momsgonnabemad The victim identified Elijah Shepherd and one of the juveniles as being involved with the robbery. When the officers searched the car, they found a replica handgun and the victim’s cell phone. #clue #idontknowhowthatgotthere The second adult male was identified as Jesse Line, who was on active parole and had a felony warrant for his arrest. After a long investigation, Elijah and the juvenile went to #CBDC for robbery. Jesse went to #CBDC for his felony warrant. The #joyridingjuvenile and his friend were released to their respective parents. #notthecallparentswanttoget #momsgonnabemad #nothinggoodhappensaftermidnight #donttakemomscar #supergrounded
