M.A.G.E.C. detectives have arrested a 31-year-old Cutler man and seized more than two dozen illegal firearms following a traffic stop and subsequent search warrant, the Fresno County Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n

Detectives with the Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium stopped a vehicle Wednesday on American Avenue, north of Orange Cove, for a vehicle violation. During contact with the driver, identified as Cristian Nunez, a deputy saw an AR-15 rifle with a drum magazine on the front seat, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Investigators said they later determined Nunez possessed an aftermarket device that increases the rate of fire of the weapon, which is illegal under California law.<\/p>\n

Detectives then obtained and served a search warrant at Nunez\u2019s home in Cutler in Tulare County, where they seized more than 25 illegal firearms, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Nunez was booked into the Fresno County Jail on charges related to illegally possessing a modified AR-15 and remains held on $200,000 bail. Officials said he is facing additional felony charges and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
