Yucca Valley man arrested for possession of weapons, discharging firearm

After neighbors heard gunshots and a woman screaming, a Yucca Valley man was arrested for investigation into being a felon in possession of weapons and discharging a firearm with negligence.

At around 9:45 p.m. on Thursday (May 30,) neighbors in the Yucca Mesa area called 911 regarding sounds of gunshots and people yelling. 

Deputies responded to a house in the 58000 block of Buena Vista Drive in Yucca Valley. They announced their presence via PA, and they said that the people in the house were not cooperative.

Deputies say that a firearm was thrown out of the house and into the desert, at which point they were able to move children and a victim out of the house. Two people were detained in the incident, including Jeremy Montez-Flowers, 35, who has been convicted of a violent felony. 

Inside the house, deputies report finding nine .45 caliber rounds.

Jeremy Montez-Flowers was arrested on suspicion of making threats and discharging a firearm with negligence. He is facing additional felony charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was booked into the West Valley Detention Center where he is being held on $150,000 bail.
