SUMMARY: On Wednesday, August 25, 2021, at approximately 12:05 p.m. deputies from the Fontana Sheriff's Station assisted officers from the San Bernardino County Adult Probation Department conduct a compliance check at the above location.
Suspect Vincent Medina, who is currently on adult felony probation for possessing firearms, was detained while investigators conducted a compliance check within the terms of his probation. During the course of the compliance check, investigators located items Medina was not allowed to possess, in plain view.

Several firearms were located including illegal assault rifles without serial numbers, high capacity magazines, a pistol, a large amount of ammunition and a highly volatile butane honey oil lab. Specially trained narcotic officers responded and diffused the butane honey oil lab and rendered it safe to be collected as evidence.
