Two Santa Rosa men arrested; 3 shotguns seized

Sonoma County sheriff's deputies arrested two men and seized three shotguns after responding to a call Monday night of a man with a rifle in a parking lot on Sebastopol Road.

After speaking with two men in a car, deputies found three shotguns in the trunk, said Lt. Steve Brown. All three were semi-automatic and one barrel had been sawed off to about 13 inches.

Ismael Lomeli, 20, of Santa Rosa was arrested on suspicion of possessing a sawed-off shotgun and possessing a firearm with the intent to sell.

A subsequent search of a residence led to the arrest of Jose Ojeda, 42, of Santa Rosa on suspicion of violating probation.

Lomeli and Ojeda were both booked into Sonoma County Jail.
