Oakland man charged with gun possession after recent robbery and homicide

OAKLAND — A local resident was betrayed by his own ankle monitor, leading to his recent arrest and a new gun case, court records show.

Maurice Herron, 27, was arrested on suspicion of murder, after police identified him as a possible suspect in the April 19 homicide of 33-year-old Roosevelt Jones. But Herron avoided murder charges, and was instead charged with possessing a firearm allegedly found when police caught up with him on April 21.
