A 21-year-old man has been arrested by Santa Rosa police for possessing a stolen handgun. On Tuesday afternoon, police received a report of a man with a gun in the 1900 block of Santa Rosa Avenue. They responded and found the suspect, Nathan Wheeler, on foot. The loaded handgun was not found immediately on Wheeler’s person but in a nearby backpack that had information indicating it belonged to Wheeler. A records check on the firearm revealed the gun was reported stolen from out of state. Wheeler was arrested for the charges related to carrying a stolen and concealable firearm in public.
