Police: Convicted felon found napping in car in Pasadena with loaded handgun


PASADENA >> Police arrested a man on suspicion of being a convicted felon in possession of a gun after finding him napping in an parked car in Pasadena late Friday, officials said.
Officers responded to the 2900 block of Margaret Drive about 11:15 p.m. after someone called police to report seeing an “unresponsive male” inside a parked car, Pasadena police Lt. John Mercado said.
Police found Richard Bojorquez, 35, of Monrovia inside the car and began speaking with him, the lieutenant said. Officers learned he was on probation, and ultimately found a loaded .22-caliber handgun inside his car, along with a small amount of methamphetamine.
Bojorquez was arrested without a struggle, Mercado added.
According to Los Angeles County booking records, Bojorquez was being held in lieu of $65,00 bail pending his initial court appearance.
