Guns allegedly made with 3D printer, drugs seized during Santa Rosa arrest
(KRON) — A 34-year-old man from Santa Rosa was arrested on April 11 for allegedly making numerous 3D-printed guns and drug possession, Santa Rosa Police say.
Suspect Michael McGarvey was pulled over by Santa Rosa Police Department Special Enforcement Team officers at approximately 9:04 a.m. Friday. Officers determined that McGarvey was on probation out of Sonoma County and proceeded to search his black Honda Civic.
During the search, officers found a secret compartment containing suspected narcotics.
'The officers conducted a search of the vehicle based on McGarvey's probation terms and found a hidden compartment behind the driver's door panel where they discovered approximately 2.5 grams of a suspected narcotic,' SRPD said.

Following the traffic stop, officers searched McGarvey's home on the 2400 block of Dayton Street in Santa Rosa. During the search, officers found two 3D printers that were allegedly used to make at least six guns found inside the home.
'The officers located 6 firearm precursor parts along with a 3D-printed unconventional .22-caliber pistol, which did not have any serial number or a rifled barrel,' SRPD said. 'The [firearm precursor parts] and unconventional pistol were concealed in a zippered chair cushion near the 3D printer.'
California law prohibits the use of 3D printers to manufacture guns or gun parts without a firearm manufacturing license. McGarvey was booked into the Sonoma County Jail for multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including possession of an unconventional pistol, six firearm precursory parts, the use of a 3D printer to manufacture gun parts, drug possession and probation violation.

Man charged in shooting of two teens in Lauderhill
A 33-year-old man was arrested Friday in the shooting of two teens at a Lauderhill apartment complex. Kurt Cranston is now charged with two counts of attempted murder, Lauderhill Police said in a news release Saturday. Police had responded to the parking lot of an apartment complex at 2041 Northwest 43rd Terrace a little after 4 p.m. Wednesday after they were notified that 12 gunshots had been detected in the area, according to a release. When they arrived, they found a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old with gunshot wounds. One was found in the road and the other was found in the parking lot. Detectives watched surveillance video footage, which appeared to show Cranston walking near the apartment's leasing office with a gun tucked in his armpit, according to the release. When he turned the corner, he pointed the gun at a group of people in the playground area of the complex and began to shoot, continuing to shoot at them as they ran away. Cranston told detectives in an interview that he shot at the two boys because of a 'prior incident' last Sunday during which he 'feared for his life,' according to the release. Police are investigating that incident. Cranston is being held at the Broward County Main Jail.
