Ventura County Sherriff’s deputies arrested an armed man without incident Saturday Morning. They had been searching for the man since 10:30 am sources say along highway 33 in Casitas Springs; a beautiful town hidden in the luxurious meadows of Ojai California.

Residents in the area were advised to remain home to stay safe because there was an armed gunman on the loose. The man was soon arrested and the alarm was cancelled.

A handgun was recovered during the arrest. No damage to private property or bodily injury. The Ventura County Sherrif’s Department advised the suspect not to take his gun to town in the future.
