Following a conviction on that offense, he lost his rights to possess firearms. Police began investigating the man earlier this summer. They recently served a search warrant on his Fillmore residence. Inside, police found a handgun, two handgun kits, two AK-47 kits and ammunition. Prosecutors charged the man with four weapons-related felonies. He pleaded guilty to two charges. The court will dismiss the remaining two charges when he appears for sentencing in November. He remains jailed in lieu of a $250,000 bond.
Fillmore Domestic Violence Attorney
Domestic assault convictions can have lasting effects. In this case, the defendant lost his right to possess firearms. His latest arrest will likely result in prison time and future weapons restrictions. When you face domestic assault charges, hire an experienced domestic violence attorney like Robert Helfend.

His first priority will be to get the charges against you reduced or dropped. When that’s not possible, he will work toward the best possible outcome for your case.
