Felon arrested in Garden Grove on gun charges

On October 22, 2020, at 3:32 PM, Garden Grove Police Department Community Impact Unit (CIU) officers conducted a traffic stop of a car in the area of 9th St and Garden Grove Blvd for vehicle code violations.

During a search of the vehicle, a fanny pack containing a loaded handgun, an extra loaded handgun magazine, and thousands of dollars in cash was located.

The driver, later identified as David Barraza, was found to be a convicted felon prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and ammunition. Further investigation revealed he was staying at a local hotel.

Garden Grove police officers subsequently served a search warrant of his room and found an additional hi-capacity handgun magazine, a handgun holster, additional ammunition, a digital scale, and a baggie of suspected narcotics.

  • This is the face of an Ugly West Coast Pussy who thinks he part of the MS13 Gang. What woman would want to kiss that Notoriously Disgusting Ugly Shitface Idiot?

  • Fix our justice system; criminals in mass are funded by government, and control government, and sit in boxes while others think of how to try and hurt their feelings. We are hardening our own people into a state of inaction, or public thinks words hurt them, and throws words at people who simply know physical responses. I feel sorry for both sides of this coin. There will always be a place to work; if you ever choose another lifestyle. God bless our people, this fight is forever.

  • You’d be suprised. This guy hanged out on oma and Gilbert. A very quiet suburb. His Mexican homie will be upset he got caught up. Oh well.
