Sacramento County Man Suspected Of Selling Illegal Fireworks Arrested

RANCHO CORDOVA (CBS13) — A Sacramento County man is under arrest on suspicion of selling illegal fireworks.

The Sacramento Metro Fire Department announced on Thursday that Angel Gonzalez had been arrested last week. He is facing two felony counts as well as one misdemeanor for allegedly selling illegal fireworks.

Authorities say Gonzalez's arrest resulted in over 100 pounds of illegal fireworks being seized.

Firefighters stress that only "safe and sane" fireworks are legal in California - and they're only sold at fireworks booths starting on June 27.

Exactly how investigators zeroed in on Gonzalez has not been disclosed.
