FAIRFIELD – The intoxicated woman carried a loaded gun, with the bullets loaded backwards.
On September 22 at 6;45 p.m. a citizen called the FPD. The citizen reported an intoxicated woman in a business, who displayed a handgun from her purse.
Officers responded to the business near the 1300 block of Travis Boulevard. The suspect placed her gun on the counter and then returned it to her purse and left. Thankfully she did not threaten anyone.
Then responding officers soon came upon 27-year-old Rocio Galindo Vargas. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. In additon, officers found the .22 caliber Baretta.
Furthermore, she loaded the gun improperly. The FPD press releases said, “Every round was loaded backwards.”
Therefore Vargas’s two charges are for illegal possession of a firearm and being intoxicated in public.
Above all, thanks to concerned and involved citizens who assist law enforcement.
