A Camarillo man was arrested on October 5th, 2021 for firing a weapon during an argument while holding a small child.
On October 5, 2021, Camarillo Patrol deputies responded to the 900 block of N. Hickory View Circle, reference a call for service. Patrol deputies obtained information that Jaeren McCullough was involved in a verbal argument with other individuals at the residence. During the argument, McCullough obtained a 9mm handgun and fired one round into the air. As deputies arrived on scene, McCullough fled the area with the firearm to avoid arrest.
Camarillo Patrol deputies canvased the area but were unsuccessful in locating McCullough after an extensive search.
