SACRAMENTO (KOVR) A Sacramento Metro Fire captain is trying to save his own career after being arrested for manufacturing and possessing a cache of assault weapons in his home.
Sacramento Metro Fire Captain Derik Oakes is under fire by the El Dorado County District Attorney’s office. He is facing felony charges of manufacturing and possessing a long list of assault weapons, including AK-47s, AR-15s, and an Uzi.
The guns were all seized from his El Dorado County home during the execution of a search warrant by federal agents back in 2019. That search warrant is now unsealed. It shows ATF agents located the guns because Captain Oakes had purchased machine gun conversion kits from a seller in Oregon.
