Two Arrested with Outstanding Warrants; One for also Carrying a Concealed Weapon

On June 14, 2022 at approximately 2:30 p.m., officers assigned to Glendale PD’s Special Enforcement Detail (SED) located a vehicle travelling on the 200 block of S. Central Ave. with expired registration. Utilizing departmental resources while the officers were about to initiate a traffic enforcement stop, they discovered that the registered owner of the vehicle had a warrant out for his arrest and a suspended driver’s license. During this time, the vehicle had parked, and a male, later identified as 26-year-old Kaylon Grant (transient), exited the vehicle. The officers approached Grant (who was determined to be the registered owner of the vehicle), and the passenger,36-year-old Jennifer Esqueda of Lake Balboa. During the investigation, it was determined that Esqueda also had a warrant out for her arrest. A search of the vehicle produced a loaded replica ghost gun, debit and credit cards belonging to three other individuals, and a baggie of Psilocybin mushrooms. Grant was arrested and booked for being in possession of a firearm with a prior felony conviction, carrying a concealed weapon with a prior felony conviction, possessing a controlled substance while armed, identity theft, and for his outstanding warrants. Esqueda was arrested for her outstanding warrant.
