Allegedly fueled by alcohol, a suspect’s aggravated assault against a San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office deputy led officers to the discovery of an automatic rifle at the suspect’s residence, and at least one other gun.

On December 30, around 8:11 p.m., deputies were dispatched to a frontage road near Highway 99 on a call of a suspicious vehicle that had allegedly struck a gate.

When deputies arrived to make contact with the driver, they met Jessie Rodriguez and his female companion.

According to deputies, Rodriguez became belligerent and it became apparent the man was “highly intoxicated”.

While trying to calm Rodriguez, deputies say he began choking the female right in front of deputies.
