DETAILS:
Oxnard police officers on Saturday arrested Antonio Ramirez, 24, after he was found with a gun and drugs in the 1200 block of Azalea Street.
Around 11:30 p.m. police officers were addressing the problems on Azalea Street by doing foot-patrols, which means getting out of their squad cars, taking the time to talk to residents and deter would-be criminals. Officers saw Ramirez attempting to hide and found that he had discarded a loaded .357 magnum revolver and was in possession of drugs.
Ramirez was wearing a GPS ankle monitor from a previous arrest.
