Mia Renee Gamboa is a 24 year old woman from Merced, California. Gamboa was arrested in Truckee, California after officials say she brandished a gun in a road rage incident. The gun-related allegation led to a charge of distributing Oxycontin.
The California Highway Patrol said that a driver came to them and told them that Gamboa had brandished a handgun at them while she was in the passenger seat of a car.
That happened after an incident of purported “road rage” between two cars.
Police said Gamboa was in the car with her boyfriend and they were driving with three minors in the car, not her children.
In a search of Gamboa’s car as they investigated the road rage claim, police say they found a semiautomatic handgun matching the one from the complaint. They also say they found over 200 pills they suspect to be Oxycontin. That led police to believe Gamboa intended to sell the pills.
Gamboa has been charged with brandishing a firearm, child endangerment, and possession of narcotics with the intent to distribute.
