Roseville police arrest man found with ‘ghost gun,’ fentanyl, meth and other drugs
A Marysville man was arrested last week after police found a privately manufactured “ghost gun,” ammunition, fentanyl, meth, other drugs and more than a pound of marijuana during a traffic stop, Roseville police said Thursday.
Police on April 5 pulled over a vehicle near the 700 block of Sunrise Avenue occupied by a man and a woman, the Roseville Police Department said in a news release.
The man was identified as Troy Sherman, 35, of Marysville. The woman in the vehicle, a 27-year-old Roseville resident, was not identified.
Officers detaining Sherman found him to be in possession of more than 6 grams of fentanyl, more than 2 ounces of meth, 75 oxycodone pills, a small quantity of cocaine, more than a pound of marijuana, a loaded magazine and cash, the Police Department wrote.
“When the female exited the vehicle, she was found to be in possession of a fully loaded ghost gun under her purse,” the department wrote in Thursday’s news release. “She was quick to divulge that Sherman gave her the gun as they were pulled over.”
Sherman, who was on probation, was arrested on multiple felony charges, including being a felon in possession of a firearm along with several drug-related charges. The woman was not arrested.
Sherman was booked into the South Placer jail, where his bail is set at $515,000, booking records show.
