SUMMARY:
On August 16, 2018 at approximately 9:42 P.M., Deputy Kenneth Bubier and Deputy Loran Keith contacted a suspicious vehicle parked in the area of Fort Cady Road and Auklet Road in Newberry Springs. The occupants of the vehicle, Stephen Gumpert and Shawn Burge, were detained after a records check determined the vehicle’s license plate had been reported stolen in May of 2018 in Fontana, California.
A loaded twelve-gauge shotgun and shotgun rounds were located during a search of the vehicle. Burge was subsequently arrested for being a felon in possession of a weapon and ammunition. Gumpert was arrested for possession of stolen property and an unrelated outstanding warrant. The vehicle was determined to be an unreported stolen vehicle after the owner was contacted. Both subjects were transported to the Barstow Jail.
