Last night gang detectives and OC Probation were conducting proactive enforcement when they saw a known probationer and documented gang member driving around the area of Sigler Park, according to the Westminster Police Departement.
The officers correctly assumed the probationer was up to no good! A traffic stop was initiated and the detectives located a loaded firearm inside of the car. A records check of the firearm showed the gun was stolen.
To the detective’s surprise, the gun was not stolen from John Wilkes Booth, and was not used in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. (The gun appeared to be a tiny Derringer type model popular in the Civil War era)…
