Police arrested a convicted felon from Oakland after a traffic stop in downtown Walnut Creek last night.
The vehicle was originally pulled over for a minor violation, however, when the officer approached the vehicle, he spotted a rifle inside the vehicle.
The suspect, who police did not publicly identify, was arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a large capacity magazine, possession of a firearm without a serial number, felony probation violation, possession of a controlled substance while armed, possession of an assault weapon, and other firearms related charges, according to Walnut Creek Police.
Good job WCPD.

California’s strict gun laws are working great!
.
They need to put out his full name and picture so the PUBLIC is safe.
Hopefully his goose is cooked. You never know anymore.
BUT, But, but, he violated the law . . . . . .

Use or possession of firearm by convicted Felon,
automatic 18 year Prison sentence served consecutive with any other sentence handed down.
IF there is no threat of incarceration,
there is NO deterrence of crime.

Obviously we need more gun laws!!!
This is the reason window tint laws are critical to enforce. Law enforcement needs to be able to see into the car they are approaching.
9mm “pistol”. Riiight….another weapon nobody needs. How is this a pistol?
Not the sharpest tool in the shed, cruising thru Walnut Creek like that.
..good job LE but why no ID or pic?
Because he’s black, a protected class. Black crime is hidden by the state and media. If he was White, you can bet his name and face would center stage.
Yep black so nothing to see here.
No name means no way to track if they were cite-released or if actual charges for this crime will be pursued. The Democrat supermajority is making anarchy a reality. Eventually we will see vigilantes patrolling the street and “handing out justice” if this doesn’t stop.
Keep voting these politician in! So, this crap will just keep happening
Don’t need stop and frisk when they voluntarily DWB, good job WCPD
Doctors without borders?
Yes good job police! The reality of it is he’s probably already walking around out in public again and probably even has a gun still.
This tolerance of criminals is absolutely crazy! And there’s one political party that starts with the letter “D” that supports all of this and is allowing things to get worse.
Wake up voters! You might be the next victim.
My bet is that he will be free in no time. The DA’s office will deem that traffic stop for minor violation racially motivated and illegal. Any evidence collected as a result of this stop will be inadmissible. Or at least that was the trend lately.
Keep him off the streets forever.
Would like an update on how this case is handled.
Arrest may have saved lives.
In the meantime newly arrived PG&E bill just arrived $100 plus more then last year at this time. Thanks Joe you fool. You know what? I can afford it. I think of those struggling. We haven’t even needed the heaters yet.
Strong work by PD.
Brave Police Officers are risking their lives daily to protect our communities; while the demorat politicians and their soulless supporters work and strive to allow dangerous criminals to run rampant in our communities.
Maybe he was trying to find a parking spot?
Could have been a Biden junta goon lookin for some “ ultra MAGA” supporters at Broadway Plaza? Maybe just a run of the mill armed robbery goon? Hey WC council, look who’s coming into your city thanks to your ultra liberal BLM policies. Hmm ..Do we still want to build more low income housing in WC, since it’s for racial justice and all ya know…. This could have been a major domestic terrorist incident thwarted by PD.
They dont release the name because they dont want the public to be able to lookup his custody status. He will be out in 72 hours or less.
So sad to see the ghetto trash in my former hometown. We’re locked and loaded next door to CA – ghetto trash thinks twice about pulling a weapon here as they’re more likely to get blasted by responsible gun owner (crime stats here prove it)
Walnut Creek has obviously taken a major dump.
But this is the way our elected officials want it: diversity is much more important than safety. Compound that with a George Soros financed DA, and Walnut Creek is poised to get worse. Further, our police department can’t afford any trouble or publicity with criminals of color. So this is their trifecta for a continued increase in violent crime.
Nice work by WCPD and some very insightful comments above. It’s the Wild West out there cowpokes.
