Elk Grove Police arrested three suspects on a variety of charges including possession of firearms by a parolee and counterfeit money.

Just before 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26 a vehicle driven by Justin Roman Vega, 46, of Sacramento was stopped for a vehicle code violation on the 8400 block of Pastori Way in Sacramento. Officers determined that Vega was on probation and a vehicle search led to the discovery of counterfeit currency. 

Upon searching Vega's residence, officers encountered Larry Jerome Williams, 44, and Mikayla Talla Oaks, 18, both of Sacramento. While trying to detain Oaks, Williams tried to flee from custody.

After a short foot pursuit, Williams was captured, and it was discovered he was on parole. A search of the residence led to the discovery of three loaded firearms, three high capacity magazines, additional ammunition, counterfeit money, and a printer.

Vega was arrested for the counterfeit money, possession of ammunition and violating his probation. Williams and Oaks were arrested for various firearm possession charges, and Williams had an additional charge for violations of parole. 

Vega has been released while Williams is held on a $1 million bond ineligible for bail, and Oakes is being held on a $50,000 bail. Arraignment is on Friday. March 29.
