| Narrative: |
On 03/11/2025, deputies with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Fillmore Station arrested a 34-year-old woman for having an illegal firearm concealed on her person in a public place.
At about 1:59 PM, Sheriff’s patrol deputies from the Fillmore Station contacted what they believed to be a stranded motorist in the 3000 block of Torrey Road. The motorist was identified as (S) Amber Marie Sisson, a Fresno resident. A records check determined Sisson had an active out-of-county warrant for her arrest. A search of Sisson’s person led to the discovery of a loaded “ghost gun” concealed on her person. Sisson is a convicted felon and therefore prohibited from owning or possessing firearms or ammunition. Sisson was arrested for violations of Penal Code § 25400(c)(2) – [Carrying Concealed Firearm on Person], Penal Code § 29800(a)(1) – [Felon in Possession of a Firearm], Penal Code § 30305(a)(1) – [Felon in Possession of Ammunition], and Penal Code § 27545 – [Unlawful Firearm Transfer].
Sisson was transported to the Pre-Trial Detention Facility where she was booked pending court proceedings.
The term “ghost gun,” is used to describe firearms which lack serial numbers. Additionally, ghost guns are illegally transferred without the use of a federal firearms license dealer, which makes the firearms untraceable by law enforcement and are preferred by criminals. The prevalence of these firearms has been on the rise in recent years.
