On Wednesday, August 11, 2021, at 10:23 p.m., deputies assigned to the Central Station responded to a call for service of an unknown problem in the 1000 Block of West Valley Boulevard in the unincorporated area of Colton. During the investigation, the victim reported a male subject, later identified as Jose Macario, was demanding to be let inside her motorhome and later presented a firearm resulting in the victim fearing for her life.
As deputies arrived and contacted Macario, he was observed to have erratic behavior while displaying several signs and symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance. During the investigation, Macario removed a handgun from his layers of clothing. As Macario displayed the handgun, deputies quickly approached Macario and detained him to prevent the incident from further escalation. Deputies recovered a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun which was found to be unregistered.
Macario was ultimately placed under arrest for criminal threats, possession of a concealed unregistered loaded firearm, and possession of a loaded gun while under the influence of a controlled substance. Macario was transported to Central Detention Center where he is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
