A man apprehended in Ramona faces multiple charges after deputies discovered him with an array of illegal items, including a rifle and drugs, during a traffic stop. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office reported that on Thursday, around 9:30 PM, Ryan Jones was stopped near Main and 16th Streets, where he was found with a rifle, ammunition, high-capacity magazines, and methamphetamine.
Officers from the Ramona Sheriff's Substation initially pulled over Jones, who was driving a pickup truck, due to an active felony arrest warrant. The contents of the vehicle allegedly included a pipe commonly used for smoking methamphetamine, roughly six grams of the drug itself, and an AR-15 style rifle without a serial number with a short barrel length, which Jones claimed to have purchased in Arizona before transporting it to California, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Office alleges that the contraband was in easy reach of Jones from the driver's seat, therefore adding gravity to the charges. Born on January 14, 1985, Jones is now confronted with additional allegations: possession of an illegal firearm, possession of a controlled substance, possession of high-capacity magazines, felon in possession of a firearm, and importing a short-barreled rifle into the state.
