Clovis Family Wins Lawsuit, Forcing California DOJ to Return 500 Guns
According to the Fresno Bee, Sheakalee was arrested, but he “had no prior criminal history.” Upon arresting him, the CA DOJ said Sheakalee could not own firearms “as a result of being taken into custody under Welfare and Institutions Code 5150.” That code allows officers to take an individual for evaluation if that person is believed to pose a threat to themselves or others.
No charges were ever brought against Sheakelee; nonetheless, the CA DOJ held onto the guns. It took the suit from Mark Coleman to get them back.
Kamala Harris was California attorney general when the raid and arrest took place. On November 19, 2015, the Bee reported that “Harris said DOJ agents went to Sheakalee’s home and seized 209 handguns, 88 shotguns, 234 rifles, 181 standard capacity magazines, then high capacity magazines, 100,521 rounds of various ammunition and ten assault weapons, including a .50 caliber bolt-action rifle.”
