Authorities: Three arrested at Spenceville range for illegal guns
Two fully automatic firearms located
Three men were arrested over the weekend at the Spenceville Firing Range for being in possession of illegal firearms, authorities said.
The Yuba County Sheriff’s Office received a call about the three people firing illegal firearms at the range at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.
“We, along with Fish and Game, responded and contacted several subjects in a group, and among them located two fully automatic firearms – an AR-15 and a handgun – as well as numerous high-capacity magazine and other firearms,” said Leslie Carbah, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office.
The rifle, which didn’t have a serial number and wasn’t registered, appeared to be custom built, and all of the illegal weapons had been modified for fully automatic fire, Carbah said.
Those arrested were Bobby Yettou, 25, of Elverta; Marquis Miller, 22, of Sacramento; and Angelo Craver, 19, of Antelope.
Yettou was arrested on suspicion of possessing or making a machine gun, possessing an assault weapon, possessing a short-barreled firearm, possessing a high-capacity magazine, and being a prohibited person possessing a firearm and ammunition. Yettou is a convicted felon and a validated gang member, Carbah said.
Miller was arrested on suspicion of possessing an illegal weapon, possessing an assault weapon, possessing a shortbarreled firearm and possessing a machine gun.
Craver was arrested on suspicion of possessing or making a machine gun, possessing a highcapacity magazine, possessing an assault weapon, possessing a shortbarreled firearm, and for the sale or manufacture of an assault weapon.
All three men were booked into Yuba County Jail, where they remained in custody as of Monday evening. Bail for Miller and Craver is set at $100,000. Yettou, a convicted felon, is ineligible for bail.
