While the exact timing of the alleged road rage incident remains uncertain, deputies executed a search warrant at the suspect’s residence on the 37500 block of Sparrow Drive on Tuesday, according to a series of updates on X from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Palmdale Station.
“During the operation, numerous firearms were recovered from the residence and vehicles on the premises, including assault weapons equipped with modified accessories,” stated one update. They also discovered high-capacity magazines, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, body armor, narcotics, and a stolen Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Authorities suspect they have located the firearm involved in the road rage incident.
“Deputies also found a homemade explosive device or ‘Pipe Bomb,'” the update mentioned. This was assessed as safe by LASD Arson Explosive Detail personnel, who subsequently removed it from the site.
The man and his girlfriend were apprehended as they exited the home, with deputies reporting that both were later arrested and charged with multiple felonies.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Sovereignty is more than a concept – it’s the cornerstone of Native nations’ right to govern, safeguard our lands, and uphold our cultures. Each story we publish reinforces tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we focus on Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we address land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we’re not just sharing news – we’re documenting our contemporary history and safeguarding our future.
Our journalism is fueled by readers, not shareholders. If you recognize the significance of Native-led media in preserving tribal sovereignty, we invite you to support our work today.
Currently, your contributions are doubled. A generous $35,000 matching fund means every dollar you donate throughout December 2024 will help amplify Native voices and protect sovereignty.
No paywalls. No corporate owners. Just independent, Indigenous journalism.
