Darryl Bowen

Lompoc Police arrested a man for a weapons violation early Wednesday after serving a high-risk search warrant at a residence on the 100 block of North B Street, Sgt. Chuck Strange said.

Police served the warrant after a month of investigation, and Darryl Bowen, 44, of Lompoc was arrested for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun and possession of ammunition, Strange said.

Lompoc’s Special Weapons and Tactics Team and Narcotics Enforcement Team executed the warrant, Strange said.

Bowen was booked into the Lompoc City Jail, posted $35,000 bail, and was released, Strange said.

Noozhawk Asks: What’s Your Question?

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.

Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.

We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.

The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.

Thanks for asking!
