Madera County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the area of Harper Boulevard and Arizona Avenue following reports of a Hispanic male shooting a firearm near the railroad tracks.

Upon arrival Thursday, 39-year old Miguel Angel Flores Jr., was contacted and detained.

Further investigation led Deputies with the Madera Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Team (MADSET) to serve a warrant in the 16000 block of Harper Boulevard at Flores’ residence. During the search, additional firearms and ammunition were located. Flores is prohibited from possessing firearms/ammunition and was arrested for various firearm related charges.
