"Brett Maxwell, a 51-year-old apartment manager, was arrested on suspicion of possessing firearms, assault weapons and narcotics for sale after the Santa Clara County Gun Violence Task Force located 19 firearms and "several pounds" of methamphetamine and heroin in his apartment and storage unit, according to a news release from the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. The cache of weapons also included explosives and ghost guns - weapons manufactured without serial numbers - and three of the firearms were assault weapons, prosecutors added."
""We will never accept turning our neighborhoods into gun and drug bazaars," Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in the press release. "Thanks to the partnership between local and federal law enforcement agencies, we shut down both this extremely dangerous business and the reckless felon who ran it." Maxwell was set to be arraigned Wednesday at the Hall of Justice in San Jose. If convicted, his prison sentence could be significant, prosecutors added."
