At approximately 8:10 p.m. last night, January 1, 2019, Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a male subject armed with a handgun in the 900 block of Embarcadero Del Mar. The suspect had reportedly been asked to leave a restaurant bar because of his level of intoxication. He then brandished a firearm and reportedly threatened to shoot people. The suspect fled southbound into Anisq’Oyo Park. UCSB Police Officers and Sheriff’s Deputies from the Isla Vista Foot Patrol responded. They apprehended 24-year-old Anthony Rios of Isla Vista after a short foot pursuit.
Deputies searched the area and located a black backpack in a trashcan that contained a magazine with two rounds of ammunition. A handgun was also located near a dumpster. Rios was arrested and booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on charges of possession of a pistol with an altered or destroyed serial number, criminal threats, brandishing a firearm in a threatening man ner and carrying a loaded firearm in public.
Rios was released today after posting $50,000 bail. Rios does not have any firearms registered to him and its unknown at this time how he came into possession of the firearm he brandished during this incident.
Maybe he was cranky at the restaurant because he was hungry like the wolf.
Why were the other two innocuous comments voted down? Edhat should really revise that strange policy.
Rex – lots of non offensive comments have been rapidly voted to deletion over the past hour. Check out the one about the gang violence tonight. Simple statements by Roger about what was happening. Gone. Obviously someone with multiple accounts logging on to be a pest. Bummer.
It’s sad when you can still see the kid in them….
I agree. Let’s leave it up to the administrator. About once a week I’ll down-vote an idiot or a dislexic, but I make it a point to up-vote something in the same thread too.
Down votes are fine. That posts get removed because of them is a flaw.
In fact, this dude who brandished a weapon while two-sheets-to-the-wind is a total down vote.
Why would anyone down-vote a dyslexic?
