Deputies Respond In Less Than A Minute After ShotSpotter Alert; 1 Man Arrested
SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS13) — A recent ShotSpotter alert helped deputies respond to a scene in less than a minute and make an arrest.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office says, back on the evening of Nov. 4, they got a 1 and 6 round ShotSpotter alert from an unspecified location in the south county area.
Deputies were dispatched to the scene within 5 seconds - and the first deputy got to the location in just 41 seconds, the sheriff's office says.
With the help of air support, deputies spotted several people of interest inside and outside of a home. A probation search was soon done and deputies discovered a gun with an extended magazine. Drugs - including cocaine, meth and prescription pills - were also discovered.
One man, 22-year-old Dayan Soto, was arrested after the search. He's now facing charges of discharge of a firearm in a grossly negligent manner as well as several drug-related charges.
