In a strong response to a recent domestic violence incident, Milpitas Police announced the arrest of an 18-year-old resident who was not just facing a $185,000 Ramey warrant but was also found to be armed with a ghost gun. The young suspect is charged with domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and preventing the victim from reporting the crime, as per the Milpitas Police social media post.

The swift action by detectives to swiftly take the suspect into custody yesterday morning underscores the severity of domestic violence. The suspect now also stares down the barrel of additional charges for weapons and narcotics violations. The search of the suspect's residence led to the discovery of a loaded handgun, narcotics, and live ammunition, evidence of the lethal risks involved in domestic abuse situations.

Understanding the need to support victims, Milpitas Police have provided a list of resources available 24/7 for those who may find themselves in perilous situations. Resource information includes contact details for Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, the YWCA Silicon Valley, Community Solutions, and the National Domestic Violence Hotline, all of which can be found in their recent post. The Milpitas Police strongly emphasize, "Domestic violence is a serious crime. If you or someone you know is actively being abused—call 911."
