SUMMARY:
On Friday, February 5, 2021, at approximately 3:22 a.m., Deputy Grant with the Hesperia Police Station responded to the intersection of Mariposa Road and Main Street for a welfare check on a male who was falling asleep in a vehicle and impeding the flow of traffic. As Deputy Grant arrived on scene, the vehicle was slowly moving into the intersection and the suspect, Juan Banuelos, was asleep with the vehicle in gear. Deputy Grant was able to safely remove Banuelos and stop the vehicle from moving further. A field sobriety test confirmed suspicions that Banuelos was under the influence.
During a search of the vehicle, an unregistered gun without a serial number and an extended magazine was located. Banuelos was arrested and booked at High Desert Detention Center for PC32310- possession of a large capacity magazine, VC23152(a)- driving while under the influence, and VC23152(b)- driving while under the influence with a blood alcohol level above 0.08%. He is scheduled to be arraigned on February 9, 2021.
