            WHILE WORKING LEADS ON A SIMILAR CASE AN INVESTIGATOR WITH THE JUVNILE ENFORCEMENT TEAM HAD A SUSPECT BY THE NAME OF SERGIO GOMEZ  ON A CASE HE WAS WORKING ON. THE DETECTIVE BROUGHT GOMEZ TO POLICE HEADQUARTERS WHERE HE WAS INTERVIEWED. GOMEZ ADMITTED TO THE INCIDENT THE INVESTIGATOR WAS WORKING ON AND ALSO THAT ON TWO OTHER SUCH OCCASIONS WHERE HE AND HIS NEPHEW, A 15 YEAR OLD MINOR, COMITTIED THE OTHER CRIMINAL MISCHIEFS ACTS WHERE BB PELLETS WERE SHOT AT CAR WINDOWS.  

A WRITTEN STATEMENT WAS ALSO COLLECTED FROM GOMEZ’S GIRLFRIEND WHICH STATED THAT THE 15 YEAR OLD WAS THE ONE WHO DAMAGED THE VEHICLE’S WINDOWS WITH A BB GUN.  A BB HANDGUN AND A BB RIFLE WERE SEIZED FROM THE 15 YEAR OLD’S RESIDENCE AND WERE PLACED IN PROPERTY ROOM AS EVIDENCE.  BOTH THE 15 YEAR OLD JUVENILE AND SERGIO GOMEZ WERE DETAINED AND ARRESTED FOR THE CRIMINAL MISCHIEFACTS.
