`On 02/19/2022 at approximately 11:47 AM, UPD dispatched received a call reporting a male in a vehicle in the area of E. Gobbi St. and Waugh Ln. who appeared to be selling marijuana. The caller provided a description of the vehicle. A UPD officer arrived in the area and observed a vehicle, that matched the description provided by the caller, exiting the parking lot onto Waugh Lane. The officer observed an equipment violation on the vehicle. The vehicle drove onto Waugh Ln., and then made an abrupt turn into an apartment complex’s parking lot. The officer conducted an enforcement stop on the vehicle and contacted the three occupants. The driver was identified as Mathew James Riley and the other occupants were minors. The officer observed marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia inside the vehicle and within reach of the two minors.
Riley denied the behaviors reported by the caller, but admitted ownership of the marijuana and knowledge that the other occupants were minors. Riley and the other occupants were removed from the vehicle without incident and the officer’s investigation continued. A subsequent search of the vehicle and several backpacks within the vehicle resulted in the officer locating the following contraband:
- A semi-automatic 9mm handgun that was loaded, had a high capacity magazine and the serial numbers were obliterated.

Riley was placed under arrest for the above-mentioned violations without incident. The two minors were
released at the scene to their parents. Riley was booked at the MCSO Jail where is being held on $50,00.00
bail.
And he will be out with a promise to appear. And won’t show up. And why did he have minors with him knowing he had all that in his vehicle. Oh because he has to be the cool one. This is what it’s coming to and people just say oh well and turn a blind eye to it. What a disgrace our society is coming to.
And this is how minors get drugs and guns. From creeps like this. The POS was caught red handed!! Prison time should be handed to him, but it probably won’t.
Nothing worse on him then a Liquor Store or Cvs might carry oh & Big 5 guns
You must shop at liquor stores, pharmacies and sporting good stores that are very different from the rest of us.
One stop at the Dentist & your on cocaine. Cvs got every other medication Grandma is on etc. Should of charged him for running a leaf blower without goggles
The minors may have owned the drugs and guns. Think outside the box. Drug dealers have used minors as mules and street corner drug deals for decades. He may have been the customer.
This is why we have a problem, people making excuses for dirt bags.
Is that vanilla ice?!?!? What a gangsta!!!!! Think hes a peach now?? A year or 2 with the sodomites will groom him up !! iF. He gets time at all. At least hes a role model for the youth!!!
Fuck off you neck ass redneck how do you know his side of the story, his struggles, fucking hypocrite.
Seriously!? $50k for bail? That’s ridiculous.
Fuck all you big mouth bitches always sticking your noses in everyone’s business but your own!
It is our buisness its our community. And the productive members are getting really fed up with this adult. Acting this way. Especially around our kids. Theres no way to justify. His crimes. Drugs and guns dont work. He needs a job. But hes way too gangsta to do that
I got drugs from a fed narc when I was in the Grass Valley Boys Home 1969. He gave me great high quality drugs so he could bust adults.
A bottle of real Owlsley Acid made several hundred hit when I tabbed it.
