slide25Saturday night the Amador County Sheriff’s department was busy in the Ione area responding to a domestic violence call. The Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call from the Oakridge Circle area of Ione reporting that a male subject, Carlos Rangel Munoz, 55, of Ione was armed with a rifle and a handgun and had threatened to shoot his wife. According to the Sheriff’s Department, Munoz's wife reported that she and Munoz were involved in a domestic argument outside of a residence.
slide26 Munoz armed himself with a rifle, cycled the action and made the statement that he should just shoot her- referring to his wife.  The wife went back inside the residence, while Munoz reportedly sat outside the residence near a vehicle.  The Sheriff’s Department responded with several units.  Upon arrival, Deputies attempted to contact Munoz who refused to follow instructions.  After approximately one hour of attempting contact with the suspect, who was still outside the house, deputies were able to approach and evacuate the house of the three occupants that were inside.  After a short period of further futile attempts to get Munoz to comply, deputies approached him and took him into custody.  Five firearms were recovered at the scene.  Munoz was arrested and charged with criminal threats.
