ccording to authorities, a deputy saw 39-year-old Jack Lee Ernest driving a quad ATV on Old Highway 58 in Barstow around 11 p.m. The deputy pulled Ernest over.

As the traffic stop was being conducted, Ernest "attempted to flee and behaved so suspiciously he was detained," according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The deputy searched Ernest and found "numerous" illegal weapons, including a sawed-off shotgun with ammunition tactically attached. The deputy also found brass knuckles and two large knives which deputies say Ernest had "positioned for tactical access."

According to deputies, Ernest said he fashioned himself as "Mad Max,"

1. Shotgun too short - illegal

2. Brass knuckels - illegal

ALL the rest of that hoopla is pure, grade-A B.S. cooked up between a dishonest, PR hungry LEO HO’ and a presstitute looking to sex up a story.

“tactically attached ammo”

“tactically positioned knives”

WOW, PURE marketing.

It’s like the way realtors write about their stupid houses —NESTLED is super popular— or like the way auto writers sex up stories about cars.

If he lives in Barstow then he probably is MADMAX.

Ernest's quad ATV was towed and stored.

Until he sees what these CA fiefdoms charges for "Storage". That alone will put one in a Mad Max mood.

You nailed it.

“tactically positioned knives”

IOWs; a knife that you can reach without being a double-jointed circus contortionist.

CA law allows for carrying any size knife but it has to be
“suspended from the waist”, so if it’s attached to the shoulder or leg for instance it’s a crime. That’s why the reference.

Looks like 20 gauge birdshot. “Mad Max” is an idiot. There was a school shooting and luckily the idiot was using bird shot. A girl got hit full in the chest at about 10 feet. “It felt like somebody hit me with both fists - I didn’t know what happened. Then my shirt started getting wet. I walked out of the building...”

Barstow is meth factory central. Do NOT follow dirt roads off the highway, you will likely come on a few mobile homes serving as meth brewing sites.

I gather they like the wide open spaces to get rid of the smell and hide explosive industrial accidents.

Lots of very nasty people live in the Barstow area.
