Another California Man Arrested on Drug Trafficking, Multiple Gun Charges

Last December, a man from Rohnert Park was arrested on drug trafficking and multiple gun charges after police found him possessing illegal firearms and trafficking narcotics.

The Santa Rosa Police Department noted that the police seized a cache of weapons, including an assault rifle, a ghost gun, and a gold-plated handgun from the 24-year-old Daniel Solorio.

Police said detectives received a tip about the suspect's illegal activities back in September. Officers found him in a business on the 300 block of Rohnert Park Expressway.

During the serving of an arrest warrant, police said they found a loaded Polymer 80 fully automatic ghost gun with a high-capacity magazine.

After the suspect was detained, police served search warrants at a home on the 1000 block of Golf Course Drive in Rohnert Park in Santa Rosa.

Police said they found cocaine, a commercial-grade money counter, and evidence of narcotics transactions at the Rohnert Park home located next to an elementary school.

Solorio was booked at the Sonoma County Jail on charges of narcotic sales, possessing a machine gun, carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a gun in a school zone, and possessing narcotics for sale in a school zone.
