Sacramento PD arrests ex-felon with guns, bombs, drugs
From Kim Minugh:
After serving a search warrant at a Hagginwood home this morning, Sacramento police found a cache of guns and homemade bombs, authorities said.
Police detectives and the Special Weapons and Tactics team served the search warrant about 7 a.m. at a residence in the 3700 block of Jasmine Street because detectives had information that a convicted felon living there was in possession of weapons, which is a violation of the law, said Sacramento police Sgt. Norm Leong.
Inside the home they found 10 rifles, two handguns, more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition and eight homemade explosive devices, Leong said. They also found a half-ounce of methamphetamine and evidence to indicate the drugs were being sold, Leong said.
Leong said it was not yet known whether any of the firearms were stolen.
Officers arrested the resident, 47-year-old Matthew Graham. Leong said Graham faces 12 counts of being an ex-felon in possession of guns; eight counts of possessing explosive devices; being an ex-felon in possession of ammunition and possessing methamphetamine for sales.
