(WGGB) – The last run-in Springfield Police say they had with Jesus Rivera, the 20-year-old was firing off rounds in a city neighborhood known for drugs. Police say Rivera didn’t have a license for the gun. After his arrest he never showed up for his arraignment.
The incident happened in the early hours of January 1st. Police say two patrol officers noticed the gates to the Springfield Cemetery were left open.
“When the officers went to investigate, they heard 3 or 4 shots fired from the other side of the fence.” Springfield Police Sergeant John Delaney says. “Immediately, they spun the cruiser around and headed out of the cemetery.”
Police say when the patrol car got to the main road, Maple Street, the officers spotted a Honda with CT plates attempting to speed away from the scene. The neighborhood it had just left was Avon Place. The driver of the car was Jesus Rivera.
“The officers pulled the patrol car sideways, blocking the exit. They got out of the vehicle with weapons drawn.” Sgt. Delaney explains. He says Rivera quickly tried hiding the gun he was firing under the driver’s seat. “The officers made the occupants exit the vehicle. They found that gun and they found a second gun in the car.”
Currently, Jesus Rivera is in default. Police believe he may still be Springfield, his last known address was at Avon Place.
If you know anything about the whereabouts of Jesus Rivera text an anonymous tip to C-R-I-M-E-S.
Suppose he could read a ballot; would he vote for Obama or Romney?
Didn’t have a license? You don’t say.

I live in area and a family member was walking to the maple street store with her year and half old when she heard shots and a car flying by her with gunshots in it and another car following. She was safe thank GOD however to me this isn’t unimportant! Whether it was a year or more ago…there’s a school and a playground in this area I wud think that wud matter more then it being old news. No one has the right to take anothers life especially over something that they will look back 30 years from now and say…really…wow I was young and stupid causing an even more angry adult. Just my thought on the matter

Should have never been able to post bail. The judges need to look at who they are dealing with before granting bail or bond.
These animals are gone in the wind and will end up killing some one!!
