By Peggy KellySanta Paula TimesA party held Halloween night turned disruptive when alleged gang members refused to leave, leading to one arrest for a parole violation according to a Santa Paula Police spokesman.Lt. Carlos Juarez said that the SPPD was dispatched to the 100 block of McKevett Heights at about 1 a.m. for a report that “gang members with knives were refusing to leave” the party.“It’s one of those things where there’s a party and friends invite friends who don’t get along and there’s a fight,” Lt. Juarez noted.
The initial report to the SPPD was that “subjects with knives wanted to get into the party and were refusing to leave” and then it was reported that “three subjects were attempting to gain entry after they were ejected.”Upon arrival SPPD Officers detained six people and “ran them” i.e. checked criminal records and discovered that one man had an outstanding warrant for a parole violation.Officers arrested Gilbert Ray Salas, 32, of Oxnard for the parole violation.Lt. Juarez said that it is not sure if the party was a Halloween celebration, “whether or not people were in costumes” but that it was a “pretty big party. I do not know how exactly how many people were there” but that the responding Officers said that many people were at the scene.“It was one of those incidents where people have a party and people start coming out of the woodwork,” even if they were not invited said Lt. Juarez.
