Three suspects have been arrested and warrant service has been completed after an early morning robbery. On Friday, October 23, 2020, at approximately 1:36 a.m., deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call of a robbery that had just occurred in the area of Covington Way and Camino Venturoso. Sheriff’s dispatch broadcasted a description of the suspect’s vehicle, a white sedan, and a responding deputy noticed a vehicle that matched the description in the area of San Marcos Road and Via Los Santos.
Deputies conducted a high-risk stop of the vehicle that was occupied by four people. When deputies searched the vehicle, they found a loaded high-power rifle, along with three additional firearms and armor piercing ammunition. None of the firearms had serial numbers.
Deputies arrested 20-year-old Christian Anderson of Santa Maria, 20-year-old Juan Paniaguadiaz of Goleta, and 20-year-old Isaiah Zaragosa-Ybarra of Goleta. The fourth occupant, and the driver of the vehicle, was a female juvenile who was later released to a guardian and will be referred to juvenile probation. The three suspects were all booked at the Main Jail for felony charges including robbery, manufacturing an assault weapon, carrying a loaded firearm- not the owner, carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, possession of armor penetrating ammunition, conspiracy, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, child endangerment, and carrying a loaded firearm in the commission of a felony. Anderson and Zaragosa-Ybarra were booked for additional charges of possessing a firearm while addicted to narcotics and carrying a loaded firearm in public and they are being held on $1,000,000 bail. Paniaguadiaz was booked for the additional charge of felon in possession of a firearm as well as an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on charges of carrying a loaded firearm in public (felony), carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle (felony), and contributing to the delinquency of a minor (misdemeanor) and is being held without bail.
Sheriff’s detectives were assigned to follow-up on these arrests and served three search warrants yesterday. The warrants were served at the suspects’ Goleta residences in the 200-block of Pacific Oaks Road, the 7100-block of Davenport Road, and the 7300-block of Padova. Detectives also conducted a probation search in the 4600-block of Stillwell Road in Santa Maria. Additional evidence was recovered as a result of these searches and the investigation remains ongoing.

Nice job Sheriffs. Defund the police huh? I don’t think so.
When your banners, signs, and slogans say “defund the police!”, most rational people read that, see that, and think that means the police budgets will be cut and law enforcement will have less staff, fewer officers, less time out on the beat, etc. Show me a pic of a rioter or protestor’s sign saying: “we want the current police budgets reduced and that money tranferred to mental health crisis intervention or …” sorry, what was it again??
Throwing rocks and rioting while screaming “defund the police” is what everyone is seeing from the movement some people here are backing. If you all wanna change the rhetoric to a different one go ahead, but as of now you and the people you’re backing look like anarchists.
It was great when I was growing up. Better schooling with a broader education, done with less taxes. Better roads and infrastructure, done with less taxes. More public services, done with less taxes. Get back to the Ideals of being self reliant instead of government reliant.
It takes a change in leadership. Vote out the politician’s that support reducing or eliminating prison time. Without a strong deterrent it will only get worse.
Mommie and Daddie must be so proud of what they brought into the world
Basicinfo: looks like to have a Basic Misunderstanding of what defunding the police entail. Hint: it does NOT mean get rid of the police
Lol it means reduce their capabilities one way or another. Criminals are super down with it so are hipsters at Starbucks until someone breaks their teeth steals their macbook and their quadruple platinum coffee card and they dial 911 and it just keeps ringing
9:58 … of course it doesn’t mean NO police. I don’t think you’re understanding me. “Defund” DOES mean less money = less enforcement, less cops out on the beat, less overall respect for society’s laws and rules, etc. right? No thanks. We’ve got enough criminals out roaming about currently in my opinion. Maybe you’re not worried about that, but lots of people are.
And not to be mean but next time you want to assert your point (and I think everyone should) it’s probably good to write a little better so your comment is somewhat readable.
BASIC – how exactly do you equate diverting police money with “less overall respect for society’s laws and rules, etc?” We will still have a police force to deal with crime. All that would change is money being diverted to other branches of enforcement/social services that are PROFESSIONALLY trained to deal with many of the situations our police are not adequately trained to deal with. No one will respect the police any less.
How about a catch phrase then that actually encapsulates that thinking? When you read “Defund the police” it kind of sounds/reads like, well…defunding the police. This idea in it’s literal entirety HAS been purported by certain activists. So about fixing it towards something that we can all get behind like “reducing the scope of Police work” or whatever…
I’d of course like to start with abolishing the police union. It’s a costly handicap to oversight that adversely affects all…LET’S DEFINITELY DEFUND THE POLICE UNION!!!!!!
M-CUBED – If you’ve actually read ANYthing on this, you’d know you’re wrong. If someone breaks your teeth and steals your computer, the police will still be handling it.
