HIGHLAND – Two men with arrest records were taken into custody when San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies found loaded weapons in their car after a San Bernardino home was shot up on Friday night.
Ralphie Robert Lopez, 28, and Adonis Alfredo Serrano, 19, will appear in court this week, said officials, after being charged with shooting up a San Bernardino home on Friday night. San Bernardino police showed up to a home on the 800 block of North K Street on reports of a drive-by shooting in which several bullets were fired through a shattered window. No one was injured.
A short time later, sheriff’s deputies from a neighboring Highland station confronted a man with a gun inside a car at the intersection of McKinley and Ninth streets. Lopez and Serrano were stopped, their vehicle searched, eventually two guns – a sawed-off shotgun and a pistol – with a fired bullet casing, were discovered, according to reports. The pistol had altered serial numbers, said authorities.

Law enforcement officials charged Serrano with possession of the sawed-off shotgun, plus committing property damages over $400. According to court records, he was convicted in March for carrying a concealed weapon in a car, carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, receiving 15 days jail time.
Lopez, who has a 2011 conviction for possession of ammunition, won’t be offered bail due to probationary status – being a felon in possession of a gun and ammunition while altering a gun’s serial number. Both suspects were booked into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino. Officials said they will likely appear in court on Tuesday.
