Antioch: 12 Cited, 5 Firearms Seized After Party Bus Disturbance at Safeway

by ECT

At 11:40 pm Friday, Antioch Police were called to a disturbance at Safeway on Deer Valley Road involving a party bus that left 12-people cited while police located 5 loaded firearms.

According to Lt. Vanderklugt of the Antioch Police Department, a party bus charted out of San Francisco made the stop at Safeway and was occupied by 50 people. People exited the bus and made their way into Safeway where they became unruly and knocking down display items while stealing food and alcohol before trying to get back onto the bus.

Police were able to detain the bus in the parking lot and stated the bus driver was cooperative with responding officers.

“This required a great deal of resources who were used to identify people collecting statements and reviewing video,” said Lt. Vanderklugt. “The call came in at 11:40 pm and was closed at 2:55 am.”

According to Lt. Vanderklugt, 12 subjects were cited for theft, 1 cited for providing a false name, 1 warrant arrest and 5 loaded handguns were located on the bus.

Police stated all of the occupants on the bus were between 16-21 year old with most out of San Francisco. No names are being released at this time and police are still investigating.

Wow, this is a new one! Probably be a steady line of them now.

No, it’s been going on for some time, but the local media does not report these types of incidents, it does not fit their agenda. Now if this was white kids doing it, it would run 24/7 on all liberal news media outlets.

Dwayne where do you read it was other than white kids ? You are a fool.

I didn’t see the video, but regardless, every time something happens in this community everybody says it is because of black people and section 8. Well I have 6 kids 2 degrees and I am not on section 8 nor do I get food stamps or any assistance. I work graveyard and own 2 businesses so don’t judge me when you see me out with my kids. I hate the stereotypes that are put on “every” black person. I worked at the DA’s office and MDF, and let me tell you, not all crime is black crime. I hate that this happened because I live 1 block away from this Safeway, but for the record, I don’t steal, I don’t carry a gun, and I am not on any type of government assistance…and I am Black.

Well, the only fool is the one calling someone else a fool, take a look in the mirror!!!

Nice work APD! All of the involved were between 16-21? There were no parents? Was anyone cited for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? 5 loaded firearms? Were they handguns? You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun legally. I wonder how many were legally registered firearms and if any of the individuals had CCW’s? Sounds like this party bus was just transporting a bunch of dirtbags around to cause trouble. How old do you have to be to reserve a party bus? You have to be 25 to rent a car….

Freaking animals.

j. jacksom Jun 14, 2015 - 5:34 am

Unfortunately, this was no t a good thing but, it sounds like things “got out of hand” . 2 reply 2 @ Kris Wibbenhost, this sounds like maybe a prom date with a bus full of younsters. But, as far as a rental. U can rent a car @ 21 yr s of age.

curtis corlew Jun 14, 2015 - 7:52 am

Prom date? With loaded handguns? Is that the new normal?

Jennifer Jun 14, 2015 - 7:54 am

Wow. Are you serious. Take note, I’m black and my name is Jennifer

Jennifer J Jun 14, 2015 - 7:57 am

Wow! Are you serious? Take note, my name is Jennifer and I’m black. And don’t just assume that they are black either. If they are not, are you going to apologize but I took offense to this.

I am an American. Most of the black loser people seem to think the world owes them. Whip out the race card is getting really old. We need to stop letting loser black people ruin themselves by stopping all the free stuff they get. Free food, free housing, free credit card, free phones, free medical. No family unity just baby makin. The government even gives them more money for making bastard children. Some don’t even know who their daddy is. They make TV shows to entertain people on the subject. Too much time on these losers hands. Go to school, learn something, get a job, and stop your self pity. 90 percent of public dollars go to a lousy 10 percent of losers. The government offers education, job assistance, transportation, housing, food , cash, and they are still so much an embarrassment to the good African American citizens of this country.

La Tee' Jun 14, 2015 - 3:17 pm

Not all Black people are losers get a dam life stop judging cause white people stolen everything from every race don’t. Put you’ll on Petta stool

Cc Jun 14, 2015 - 10:34 am

Why didn’t they ALL get arrested? This is why Antioch is getting taken over by these types of people. Cuz they can get away with a slap on the hand!!!

TO JENNIFER THERE’S A VIDEO ON FACEBOOK I WATCHED IT TEN TIMES IT’S ALL BLACK TEENS

bigmil Jun 14, 2015 - 12:15 pm

This is the kind of stuff to get used to in a welfare state. Stop giving handouts and make the citizens of this utopian state get more productive and responsible. That would be a good start…

La Tee' Jun 14, 2015 - 3:20 pm

So white people aren’t that great themselves they been stealing from other races for a long time sneaky blue eyed devils

To the Victors goes the spoils of war; by the way, we did not take anything we righteously deserved or compensated other for, ever heard of Manifest Destiny.

Gamma_Ray Jun 14, 2015 - 8:49 pm

How ironic – a racist calling others racist.

Take your phony f***ing race card and shove it right up your fat @zz.

Pudding Jun 14, 2015 - 5:03 pm

To Keep it real. all the things you stated about black people are true of white people. White people are no better than black people. You steal, cheat, kill, rob, lie, make babies out of wedlock and don’t know who your father ares. More white peoples on welfare than black people. It was a bunch of kids doing things they had no business doing. All that you said was unnecessary just show how you really are

MTD Jun 14, 2015 - 7:03 pm

Hmm. Seems a lot of stuff — personal attacks — being flung about without a single realistic solution suggested. The video does show all black young people. And I have to been told to be careful in Antioch as it’s gotten remarkably worse over the past couple decades — now I referred often as the Richmond of East County. This comment voiced mostly by black friends of mine. I am an American with roots as an American Indian, Spain, Scottish Highlands, Ireland, Germany & England. I bleed red and cry salty tears like everyone. How about we find real solutions, put our energy there .

STUFF LIKE THIS MAKES ME ASHAMED TO BE YOUNG AND BLACK THE VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK AND SNAPCHAT I SEEN MADE ME SO ANGRY THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SO FUNNY
THEY WANNA SAY F*** THE POLICE BUT MAKE THEM COME OUT AND DO THEIR JOB WHAT DID SAFEWAY DO TO THEM FOR THEM TO COME AND DO THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED

Kathleen Caballero Jun 14, 2015 - 7:53 pm

I’m white and think if you paint an entire race as losers, you are simply racist. No matter the color of your skin. Also, no more blacka are bad or criminals then any other race. However it makes good news so we hear about the welfare cheats, losers, baby makers instead of the scholars, professionals or just the plain everyday joe that goes work to support their families. There are far more of these winners then the losers. So grow up an reevaluate you biased opinions.

This is all about Bad parenting regardless of race! Why don’t you know what your 16 year old is up to!

TJ Jun 15, 2015 - 10:16 am

The main issue here (there are many) is under aged kids possessing firearms, regardless of their race… Period !!
I’m quite certain if you were ever jacked by a black person your mindset at that time wouldn’t be…damn,wish they were white…

David Powell Jun 15, 2015 - 11:40 am

So many incidents happening at that Safeway in 2015. City of Antioch is going down the gutter. Goes to show what happens when you have a city run by black people. A perfect example of this is Baltimore with 3 times the murder rate of Oakland.

Stephen thompson Jun 15, 2015 - 11:56 am

The key fact is that this is deeper than any race issue. It’s the fact that parenting seems to be lacking throughout not only Antioch but our nation as a whole. There can be many factors contributing that issue whether it be a single parent who works a lot or simply a drug addict dead beat parent. And as far as black culture having a sense of entitlement if you purely think only be race feels entitled then you haven’t met today’s avg. 15-19 yr old because our society has allowed them to think that the only way you can become successful is to make a cool YouTube video or a hot song. When in reality ALL kids aren’t being challenged as much as a kids growing up in the late 90s . Even the schools are softer. When i attended AHS , If you even smelled like alcohol you were up for expulsion but since I’ve been employed by the district I work for . I’ve caught 2 kids with weed and 1 with alcohol and all get the same punishment a 5 day suspension and the counselor or admin didn’t follow up with the kids . Bottom line as a young American who works with kids let me just give all parents 1 piece of advice . ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOUR KIDS . but don’t suffocate them .

Why would a party bus go to a grocery store in the first place? Just plaint odd!
