Following a reported fight on the block of Montecito Boulevard, Santa Rosa Police managed to apprehend a suspect linked to a domestic violence incident. The late-night melee, which transpired at around 2340 hours last night, also led officers to recover a "Ghost Gun" in possession of one Jordan Tuituku, according to the Santa Rosa Police Department.

Upon arriving at the scene, police were able to quickly locate several individuals several blocks away who were believed to be involved in the confrontation. The investigation revealed that the skirmish was rooted in domestic violence, and there was a possibility that one of the individuals might be armed with a not yet registered firearm. Tuituku was contacted at an apartment located on the same block where the fight originally erupted.

Tuituku, after being interviewed by law enforcement, admitted to having an unregistered, privately made firearm, which officers retrieved without further incident. This .45 caliber weapon not only was loaded with 12 rounds of ammunition but also had been modified with a Glock switch. This particular modification is capable of transforming an otherwise semi-automatic handgun into a weapon that can rapidly fire multiple rounds, almost akin to a machine gun.

For his involvement, Tuituku now faces multiple charges, including the possession of a machine gun and an unregistered firearm, both felonies. He was also charged with a misdemeanor for violating probation. These charges see Tuituku booked into the Sonoma County Jail under SRPD Case # 24-9090.
