On November 11, Jason Bean, 47 years old, Gualala, was arrested for possession of a silencer and public intoxication. Latisha McCloud, 35 years old, Stewarts Point, was arrested for possession of stolen property.
At approximately 8:00 am, a Deputy assigned to the coast was dispatched to a man down, in the area of Highway 1 at Annapolis Road. Upon his arrival, the Deputy saw a red Ford truck parked on the side of the road, with the driver’s door open. McCloud was sitting in the driver’s seat, as Bean laid on her lap, passed out from being intoxicated. The Deputy detained Bean. Bean told the Deputy that he had a firearm inside the truck. The Deputy found a bolt-action rifle under the backseat. The rifle had a large silencer attached to the barrel. Bean said he used the rifle to hunt for deer to feed his kids and that the silencer was to keep it quiet. Upon a further search, the Deputy located a business check in McCloud’s purse that did not belong to her. The Deputy has arrested McCloud in the past for passing stolen checks, theft of credit cards and forgery. The Deputy spoke with the owner of the check. The check was stolen out of a mailbox from Geyserville, during the Kincade Fire evacuation.
Bean was booked into the Sonoma County jail on a felony charge of possession of a silencer, and a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. McCloud was booked for felony possession of stolen property. Bean’s bail was set at $25,000. Bean has since posted bail. McCloud remains in-custody on a $5,000 bail.
