SUMMARY:
On June 19, 2020, Deputy Gile assigned to Grand Terrace conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for multiple California Vehicle Code violations.

The driver, identified as Nyakeh Gbondo was found to be on active felony probation for robbery. Felony probation allows a person convicted of certain crimes to be released from custody early, with strict supervision. The passenger was identified as Ashanti Woodberry.

A probation search of the vehicle was performed, and the deputy located a loaded semi-automatic handgun with a high capacity magazine, forged checks, stolen identification cards, personal financial information indicative of identity theft, and a large sum of US currency in small denominations.

Gbondo is a convicted felon in the State of California and is prohibited from possessing a firearm. Gbondo was booked at Central Detention Center and will be held without bail until a preliminary court hearing.

In compliance with the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, issued by the California Judicial Council, bail for most misdemeanor and felony offenses must be set at $0. Because of these criteria, Woodberry was booked at Central Detention Center and released from custody following the booking process.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact the Central Sheriff’s Station. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call the We-tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave information at www.wetip.com.
