ROSAMOND – A parolee was arrested Monday after leading deputies on a short foot chase outside a Rosamond gas station, authorities said.
The incident occurred around 4:05 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25, after a Kern County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to contact 24-year-old Raul Garcia near the Chevron at 25th Street West and Rosamond Boulevard, according to a news release from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.
Garcia allegedly ran from the deputy, and the deputy chased him until other deputies arrived, according to the news release.
“[Garcia] attempted to hide under a truck, then ran into the business and was taken into custody as he attempted to run out of another door,” the news release states.
“Deputies later recovered a loaded firearm from the business that [Garcia] hid while he was running. [Garcia] was walking with two suitcases that were also later determined to be from a burglary that had just occurred in a nearby neighborhood,” the news release states.
Garcia, a Mojave resident, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, parole violation, possession of a loaded firearm, resisting arrest and other charges, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s news release.
Search warrant yields stolen firearm, pot, gang paraphernalia
Kern County Deputies from the Rosamond, Tehachapi, and Mojave Substations served a search warrant Sept. 25 in the 3300 block of Huron Drive in Rosamond.
During the search, deputies located and seized a stolen firearm, ammunition, narcotics, approximately a pound of marijuana, gang paraphernalia, and other firearms in the residence, according to a news release from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.
Adrian Aristigi was later arrested and booked on numerous felony charges and is being held on $200,000 bail, the news release states.
