Hayward cops busted a man with a small arsenal and a pharmacy's worth of prescription pills — all thanks to a car sitting quietly in a residential neighborhood. The vehicle in question had a 30-day seizure/impound warrant out on it, which led officers to discover much more than they anticipated. As they hauled away the car, the registered owner emerged from his home, presumably to inquire or protest.
The man, already under the watchful eye of law enforcement due to formal probation with a full search clause, was subsequently detained. A routine record check unveiled the warrant — an administrative echo warning officers of past sins and present conditions. According to the Hayward Police Department's Facebook post, a probation search of the man's house followed swiftly. Officers didn't have to dig deep to hit the motherlode. Two unregistered handguns were found, alongside over a thousand prescription pills carefully divided into small plastic bags, suspected narcotics, and a large quantity of U.S. currency — all the trappings of illegal enterprise spilling into the light of law and order.
The identity of the man wasn't released, but the consequences of his alleged actions are clear. The weapons, the pills, the suspect's narcotics, and the money paint a familiar picture — one that law enforcement officers across the nation know all too well. The registered owner now faces several charges, including a probation violation and various weapons charges, along with possession of narcotics for sale.
Hayward Police have not disclosed details on the type of narcotics found nor the estimated value of a U.S. currency hauled in.
