On May 19, 2023, West County Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) detectives were conducting directed enforcement of known subjects who are on Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) with search terms. During this operation, Special Enforcement Unit detectives contacted Doria Ferrer, 31, of Oxnard and Eric Martinez, 31, of Fillmore, in the 1000 block of North H Street in Oxnard. During this contact, Ferrer delayed and obstructed detectives in contacting Martinez, who was found to be in the process of destroying narcotics related evidence. Detectives conducted a search of Martinez and his property pursuant to his PRCS search terms. During the search, detectives found a loaded 9mm caliber “ghost gun”, ammunition, and a half ounce of methamphetamine. The loaded firearm was found unsecured in an area accessible to small children who lived at the residence. Martinez is a convicted felon and is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and ammunition. Detectives arrested Martinez for being in possession of a loaded firearm by a convicted felon, possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of a manufactured firearm not properly registered, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with a loaded firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia, destruction of evidence and conspiracy to commit a crime. As a result of the investigation, detectives arrested Ferrer for resisting and delaying peace officers, child endangerment and conspiracy to commit a crime. The West County Special Enforcement Unit is comprised of eight detectives, whose focus is assisting patrol services with the investigation of various crimes including but not limited to the investigation of illegal firearms. The Sheriff’s Office has seen an increase of unlawful firearm activities in Ventura County, including illegal “ghost guns”. If you have any information about illegal weapons, please contact Detective Matt Smith at 805-797-2891.
