The Oakley Police Department has made several arrests involving firearms on the streets lately and we are sharing some of the details.
On March 21, 2025 Officer Hernandez had an especially effective night when he made back to back arrests with firearms:

Case 25-503
On March 22, 2025 at 11:55PM Officer Williams Made a car stop at Big Bear Road and Bernard Road after the driver initially made furtive movements to avoid contact with Officer Williams. Officer Williams obtained permission to search the vehicle and he had the front passenger, a juvenile male, step out of the car. Officer Williams observed an object showing through the sweatshirt of the person and the object appeared to be a firearm based on its outline. The person began moving his hand towards the object and he was stopped from doing so. The object turned out to be a loaded Glock pistol with 14 rounds in the magazine. The juvenile was placed under arrest and booked into Juvenile Hall.
Case 25-530
On March 26, 2025 at 9:57PM Officer Wade made a car stop at Bridgehead Road and Main Street. Nathaniel Sorrell (27, Pittsburg) was contacted and found to have an unregistered Glock pistol loaded with a high-capacity magazine with 17-rounds. Sorrell was arrested and booked.
Case 25-546
On March 28, 2025 Officer Hernandez made a traffic stop at W. Cypress Road and Main Street. Officer Hernandez contacted a juvenile male and noticed he had marijuana tucked behind his ear. Officer Hernandez conducted a search of the vehicle and found an unmarked pistol (ghost gun) with a threaded barrel capable of accepting a suppressor in the vehicle with a loaded magazine. The juvenile was arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall.
Oakley Police Chief Paul Beard said, “These cases represent the efforts and diligence our officers display on a very routine basis. In each of these cases guns were in the possession of people who are lawfully not allowed to possess firearms. Each of these cases represents potential threats to the general public and each arrest represents potential acts of senseless violence that could not take place because of the hard work of the officers. I appreciate the hard work the officers of the Oakley Police Department and the proactive measures they take to prevent violence.
Thank you officers and stay safe Oakley!”
