The following is a press released issued by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

On 05-01-2021 at about 10:07 P.M, a Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Highway 20 and Marina Drive in Redwood Valley California. 

The Deputy contacted a male driver (Brandon Gene Maxfield) and a female passenger (Avril Wright).

It was learned that Maxfield was on probation out of Mendocino County and was subject to search.  Prior to the search submitting to the search, the Deputy was told a firearm and percocet pills were located inside the vehicle. 

Believing she had an outstanding warrant for her arrest, Wright identified herself as someone else in an attempt to elude arrest.  Wright’s identification card was found during the search, revealing her true identity.

The Deputy recovered a loaded Glock 10mm caliber pistol from the glove box of the vehicle.  A records check on the firearm was conducted.  The firearm was listed as stolen out of the Bay Area. 

The Deputy recovered several percocet pills from within the passenger area of the vehicle. 

Based on the totality of the investigation, Maxfield and Wright were arrested and transported to the Mendocino County Jail. 

At the jail, Wright was found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and unknown pills, and a methamphetamine smoking pipe, all of which she had concealed on her person. 

Maxfield and Wright were booked on the listed charges in lieu of $25,000.00 bail for Maxfield and $15,000.00 bail for Wright.
