A Sacramento man was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly threatening employees and brandishing a firearm in a Folsom business area, according to the Folsom Police Department.
Officers were dispatched just before 2:00 a.m. on April 4 to the 700 block of Gold Lake Drive following reports of a male subject who had threatened employees, stating he would shoot and kill them, and was reportedly armed.
Upon arrival, officers located and detained the suspect near his vehicle. During the investigation, officers observed what appeared to be a handgun magazine protruding from beneath the driver’s seat. A records check showed the individual did not have any firearms registered in his name.
A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a loaded, unregistered “ghost gun,” along with a high-capacity magazine and approximately 100 additional rounds of ammunition, police said.
Jordell Haggins, 23, of Sacramento, was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including making criminal threats, possession of a high-capacity magazine, brandishing a firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm in public.
In a statement released following the incident, the department praised the actions of its officers.
“We commend our patrol officers for their relentless pursuit of criminal behavior, professionalism, and commitment to public safety in responding swiftly to this incident and helping keep our community safe,” the Folsom Police Departmentsaid.
The investigation remains ongoing.
