A significant arsenal, including a machine gun, was confiscated from the home of a suspect involved in a hit-and-run incident, according to police reports. Officers from the San Jose Police Department responded to the scene on October 6 at approximately 12:15 p.m. after receiving a report of a hit-and-run near Bernal Road and San Ignacio Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers found that the suspect, identified as 48-year-old Timothy Headman of San Jose, had been involved in a collision with another adult male. At the time of the crash, the victim was in his vehicle with his wife and one-year-old child. When the victim attempted to obtain Headman’s contact information, the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm before fleeing the scene.
Following the incident, detectives from the SJPD Assaults Unit launched an investigation and obtained a search warrant for Headman’s residence. The next day, patrol officers spotted Headman’s vehicle and initiated a traffic stop, leading to his arrest. During the stop, officers discovered a rifle magazine and ammunition in his possession.
Subsequently, the Assaults Unit, along with the Special Operations Violent Crimes Enforcement Team (VCET) and Metro Unit, executed the search warrant at Headman’s home. During the search, multiple firearms were seized, including a machine gun, a short-barreled rifle, and various amounts of ammunition.
Headman was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail, facing charges that include criminal threats, brandishing a firearm, hit and run, and multiple felony firearm offenses.
