Probation Officers and Deputies Make Arrest for Weapons Violations, Burson CA
On October 22, 2021, Calaveras County deputies were tasked with assisting the probation department with a home visit in the 3000 block of Burson Rd, Burson. The purpose of the home visit was to ensure that the resident, Vincent James Anicola (38 years of age), was conforming with the terms of his probation. During a search of the residence, probation officers located (1) rifle, (1) revolver and several rounds of live ammunition in multiple calibers. The weapons and ammunition were not secured and were fully accessible to young children living in the residence. According to the probation officers, possession of the firearms by suspect Anicola was against the terms of his probation and in violation of a valid domestic violence restraining order. Upon further inspection of the rifle, a records check revealed it was reported stolen from a residence in Valley Springs ( December 2019 ). In the coming days, deputies will contact the rifle owner to arrange for its return.
Suspect Anicola was arrested without incident and transported to the county jail. He was charged with 1203.2(a)PC Violation of Felony Probation (Felony), 29800(a)PC Felon in Possession of Firearm (Felony), 30305(a)(1)PC Possession of Ammunition by Prohibited Person (Felony), 32310PC Possession of a High Capacity Magazine (Felony), 30605(a)PC Possession of Assault Weapon (Felony), 273A(2)PC Willful Cruelty to Child (Misdemeanor), 496(A)PC Receive/Possess Stolen Property (Misdemeanor), 16700(a)(2)(B)PC Airsoft Rifle with No Orange Tip (Misdemeanor), 273.6(A)PC Violation of Domestic Violence Criminal Protection Order (Misdemeanor), and 25100(c)PC Criminal Storage of a Firearm (Misdemeanor).
