SUMMARY: On Sunday, March 13, 2022, the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department conducted a Sex Offender Compliance Operation involving sex registrants residing in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.

Twenty-four sheriff’s deputies and detectives from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, three state parole agents and four probation officers from the San Bernardino County Probation Department conducted 158 compliance checks of registered sex offenders, and 10 registered arsonists, who reside within the city of Rancho Cucamonga. 

These compliance checks included verifying the home addresses of registered sex offenders to ensure they are still living at their registered address. Additionally, officers searched the residences of 24 sex registrants who are currently on active felony probation and/or active parole from the California Department of Corrections (CDC). Parole searches were also conducted on 18 subjects who are on active CDC Parole for non sex offense related crimes.

As a result of these compliance checks, two subjects were out of compliance and had moved from their last registered address. A criminal investigation is being conducted into their current whereabouts. 107 offenders were contacted and found to be in compliance with their sex offender registration, and 59 offenders were not at home at the time of the contact.

Deputies made a total of five arrests during the operation. 

Glen Cranford was contacted for a probation search and found to be actively engaged in a lewd sexual act in public. Cranford was arrested for PC 647 (a) – Lewd Act in Public and for PC 1203.2 – Probation Violation. 

Larry Brennan and Anthony Pedregon were contacted at their residences, and arrested for violating the terms of their parole.

Miguel Casteneda was contacted for a probation search at his residence and was in possession of an illegal weapon. Casteneda also violated the terms of his probation.

Hector Garcia was contacted for a parole search at his residence and was in possession of ammunition and narcotics. Garcia also violated the terms of his parole.

All of the above subjects were arrested and booked into the West Valley Detention Center, where they are being held in lieu of no bail.

The Rancho Cucamonga Police Department will continue to monitor and conduct random compliance checks of all registered sex offenders and arson registrants within the city.
