“On July 10, 2022 the Los Banos Police Department responded to the 1600 Block of Foxmeadow Ct. to investigate a report of domestic violence. During the course of the investigation, officers learned the victim’s husband, 44-year-old Thomas Komarek of Los Banos, assaulted her and threatened her with a shotgun. The victim also reported Komarek took her cellular phone as she was attempting to call 9-1-1 for help.
An arrest warrant was obtained through the Merced County Superior Court and on July 14, Sergeant Jesus Parras and a Federal Agent spotted Komarek walking in the area of San Luis and Jeffery Road. As the officers attempted to arrest Komarek, he ran from the area but was caught and placed under arrest a short distance away.
Officers served a search warrant at Komarek’s residence and located a loaded shotgun. Komarek is currently the subject of a court restraining order and therefore prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.
Komarek was booked into the Los Banos Police Department Jail, pending $50,000.00 bail, charged with domestic violence, brandishing a firearm, preventing the use of 911, violation of a domestic violence restraining order, resisting arrest and prohibited person in possession of a firearm.”
