MERCED – Law enforcement ended up arresting the man right in front of his home. The MPD Gang Violence Suppression Unit (GVSU) was out and about on August 9.
The spotted gang member Roberto Martinez “in front of his residence in the 600 block of W 6th St in Merced.”
In Martinez’ bedroom
Martinez had a warrant out on him and therefore police arrested him. Then they “conducted a probation search of his bedroom.”
The search yielded a bag of meth and a revolver. Therefore he now faces gun and drug charges.
