Digging deeper into the seized items, officers uncovered an assortment of weapons from Strickland's home on Sunstream Lane, including ten firearms, among them an un-serialized AR-15 rifle, two Glock pistols, a shotgun, two revolvers, and five additional rifles. A substantial cache of ammunition and high-capacity magazines accompanied the arsenal. The presence of 2 3D printers and various firearm precursor parts suggested an operation centered around creating privately made firearms.
Apart from the arms, the law enforcement officers also encountered illegal narcotics. Found amidst the drugs were methamphetamine, opiate pills identifiable as Norco, a scale, and numerous baggies alongside cash in various denominations, pointing toward the intent to distribute.
Strickland now confronts a litany of charges, including unlawful firearm possession, manufacture of undetectable firearms, ammunition possession, and possession of controlled substances slated for sale. His fate currently lies in the hands of the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin while the Alameda County District Attorney's Office mulls over the case.
