SUMMARY:

On Thursday, January 14, 2021, at approximately 9:20 p.m., deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department responded to the intersection of Baseline Road and Forester Place for a traffic hazard. A concerned citizen reported an unoccupied white Nissan Maxima in the intersection.

Deputies contacted Brenda Torres next to her broken down vehicle. Torres had no means to move the vehicle out of the roadway and it needed to be towed. Prior to the vehicle being towed, deputies observed drug paraphernalia in plain view in the driver’s side door. Deputies searched Torres and recovered a small amount of suspected methamphetamine from her pocket.

During a search of the vehicle, deputies located a non-serialized AR-15 style assault weapon with a removable magazine, pistol grip, and a telescoping stock. Deputies arrested Torres and booked her at the West Valley Detention Center for possession of an assault weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and, possession of a controlled substance.
