A stolen gun has been recovered in Watsonville. It’s the last of 5 stolen from a gun shop and was recovered after a suspect pointed the weapon at his neighbor during a disturbance on Monday.
The weapon was later identified as one of five that were stolen from Markey’s Indoor Range back in October 2017.
Watsonville police found the suspect, 21-year-old Alexis Meza at a gas station nearby. Police say Meza was holding a handgun and had several bindles of methamphetamine with him.
Meza was booked into the Santa Cruz County jail on weapons and drug charges.
