AMERICAN CANYON, Calif., February 3, 2022, 11:30 AM – On Thursday, February 03, 2022, at approximately 1:00 AM, an American Canyon Officer saw a red Acura sedan parked in the area of Cassarye Drive and Rio Del Mar in American Canyon. The area the Acura was located in has been a problem area for late-night loitering and narcotics use. The officer spoke with Tyler Rincon, 32 years old and lives in Napa, sitting in the driver’s seat. Rincon stated he was in the area visiting a friend. Officers learned Rincon is on active Napa County probation, has a suspended driver’s license, he is only supposed to be driving to and from work. Clearly, he was in violation of his probation.
Officers obtained consent to search Rincon’s vehicle after telling them he had nothing to hide. Officers located a tan Glock .9mm semi-automatic handgun loaded with a 10 round magazine. Rincon was confirmed to be a convicted felon, which prohibited him from owning and possessing a firearm. Rincon was arrested for firearm violations, and his clothing was searched. A clear plastic baggy containing a usable amount of methamphetamine was located in his pants pocket. Rincon was booked into the Napa County Jail for multiple felony firearm charges and misdemeanor drug possession charges. He is currently still in custody on $50,000 bail.
