The Benicia Police Department recently conducted a significant operation resulting in the arrest of a local man, 47-year-old Anthony Ricardo Perry, on multiple felony charges involving illegal firearms and high-capacity magazines. According to a social media post from the Benicia Police Department, Perry was initially detained for possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell.
Investigative efforts advanced when Perry's cell phones were seized and search warrants confirmed the intent to sell, derived from text message exchanges found on the devices, and photos of illegal weapons that were stored in the residence, Perry, who is described as standing 6'1" tall, weighing 240 pounds, and with hazel eyes, found himself amidst a legal embroilment that would not only question his freedom but the sanctity of law in the quiet streets of Benicia.
On Tuesday, a raid conducted at Perry's home on the 1700 Block of Clos Duvall Ct led to the discovery of several illegal firearms as well as multiple high-capacity magazines bearing testament to the lethality lying within the four walls of suburban domesticity, these weapons including but not limited to an assault weapon and a short-barreled rifle, became undeniable evidence for the charges placed upon Perry.
The list of charges outlined in the Benicia arrest records is extensive, spanning numerous misdemeanors and felonies such as carrying a switchblade knife, criminal storage of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a felon or addict, and the manufacture and sale of large-capacity magazines and illegal assault weaponry, the gravity of these charges reflecting the potential consequences that Perry now faces as he awaits judgment, dwelling within the confines of the Solano County Jail, where he was transported following a no-incident arrest.
