A 34-year-old Fresno woman found herself under arrest in Ventura County after deputies discovered a concealed "ghost gun" on her person. According to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, Amber Marie Sisson was apprehended on Tuesday, March 11 near the 3000 block of Torrey Road, following a check on her records that revealed an active warrant for her arrest. Sisson is prohibited from owning firearms due to her status as a convicted felon.
The engagement with law enforcement began when patrol deputies from the Fillmore Station encountered what appeared to be a stranded motorist; they identified the motorist as Sisson, and a loaded firearm without a serial number, commonly known as a ghost gun, was found concealed on her, "ghost guns" have become increasingly common and are difficult for law enforcement to trace due to their lack of serial numbers and their general omission from federal firearms licensing processes, as per the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
The Fillmore Police Station reported Sisson's arrest for various firearm offenses, including carrying a concealed firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and unlawful firearm transfer. Following her arrest, Sisson was booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility to await court proceedings, as detailed by the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
