ATTENTION TO DETAIL LEADS TO ARREST (No date or time provided)
One of the most important aspects of an officer’s training is the attention to detail; especially when those details may not always be obvious.
Brentwood officers were patrolling the area of Brentwood Blvd and Sycamore Avenue when they observed a vehicle in front of them which had a rear brake light out. The officers conducted a traffic enforcement stop on the vehicle and while speaking to the driver, one of the officers noticed what appeared to be a barrel of a firearm protruding from a bag inside the vehicle. The driver and passenger of the vehicle were safely detained without incident.
During the course of the officer’s investigation they located a loaded shotgun and a loaded handgun. Both weapons were not registered and accessible to both the driver and the passenger.
The driver, Angel SERANNO (Merced), was placed under arrest for several charges including carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a concealed weapon in a vehicle; among other charges. The passenger, who was a minor, was also placed under arrest for possession of a concealed firearm.
Great job to the officer who immediately recognized the firearm in the vehicle while conducting their investigation; and for taking two

Now pull over the drivers with the blacked out tint front windshields.
Just keep that mess in Brentwood and away from peaceful beautiful Antioch
