Oxnard Police Department – Incident Press Release
On March 28, 2019, at approximately 8:17am, Oxnard Police Officers responded to a call of an adult male subject disturbing in front of Sierra Linda Elementary School on Ironbark Drive, in Oxnard.

The investigation revealed that Fausto walked into the parking lot of the school and briefly contacted a male student walking to school. A school staff member saw Fausto approach the student and reach out to him with his hand as he walk alongside him. The student immediately ran from Fausto toward the school office. Fausto left the parking lot on foot but was later detained by school staff until police officers arrived.
It was learned that Fausto asked the student if he would take a walk with him but the student quickly ran away before anything happened. Fausto was arrested and booked at the Ventura County Jail for attempted kidnapping and causing a disturbance on school grounds.
