Teen Accused in Sonoma Gun Standoff

A 21-year-old man, Damiano Vincenzo Serafini, is facing multiple felony charges—including elder cruelty, reckless gun discharge, and assaulting an officer with a firearm—after a high-stakes standoff in Sonoma. The chaos began with gunfire, followed by a high-speed chase in a relative’s SUV, which ended in a crash north of Sonoma Plaza. Authorities tracked him down behind the Sonoma Cheese Factory, where he surrendered just before 5:30 AM after hours of pursuit. A firearm was recovered, and no one was injured. Serafini is now jailed on $250,000 bail and also faces a misdemeanor for failing to register a gun by January 2019. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation and successfully de-escalated the situation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
