According to the Santa Monica Daily Press, Bryan Larkin, a man closely associated with the adult industry was arrested Thursday night after firing a gun into a residential building.
Bryan Larkin got his start as a child actor in movies like Edward Scissorhands, Born on the Fourth of July, and She-Devil.
He later moved into the adult industry as the founder and CEO of SKYlab technology and FilthyDonkey.com (a male enhancement product).
He later moved into the crypto market but has always maintained his friendship and ties with the adult industry.
Bryan Larkin has this to say about himself: I am a general technologist who has been professionally tinkering with the Internet since the rise of consumer adoption in the early 90’s. As an early adopter of all things tech, my passion lies in technology innovation in hardware and software. Most recently, I’ve been immersed in the practical and viable application of drone technologies across multiple industries. Beyond the initial hype of DJI, I am driven to revolutionize trust in Ai Flight control systems, digital and physical ecosystems, secure communications and biometric encryption privacy.
I have worked with a myriad of tech industries and have created several platforms. Importantly I am the founder of SKYlab Technology, which consults on emerging technologies such as: blockchain, aerospace, cyber security, tech infrastructure, communications, advertising, as well as next-gen smart home and IoT initiatives.
Officers were called to the area of Michigan and 12th Street at about 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 7th after witnesses saw a man exit his apartment and fire a gun into a neighboring unit.
SMPD’s Crisis Negotiation Team responded alongside SWAT officers and streets were closed in the immediate area. After about two hours of negotiation, the suspect surrendered and was taken into custody. No injuries were reported at the time of the initial shot.
His official time of arrest was noted at 1:05 am on April 8th.
Santa Monica resident Bryan William Larkin, 43-year was booked for 21510(b) PC – possession of a switchblade knife (found on his person when taken into custody) and 246 PC – Discharging a firearm into an Inhabited Dwelling.
Just prior to the incident, he posted on Facebook about having a car accident. If you notice the time on the last post, it was just 30 minutes prior to the cops being called.
Penal Code 246: Any person who shall maliciously and willfully discharge a firearm at an inhabited dwelling house, occupied building, occupied motor vehicle, occupied aircraft, inhabited housecar, as defined in Section 362 of the Vehicle Code, or inhabited camper, as defined in Section 243 of the Vehicle Code, is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three, five, or seven years, or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term of not less than six months and not exceeding one year.
As used in this section, “inhabited” means currently being used for dwelling purposes, whether occupied or not.
The crime is a felony-level offense that can send someone to prison for a long time.
Shooting at an inhabited dwelling or occupied car is a felony-level offense that can be punishable by up to seven years in prison. A conviction for this offense would also trigger a lifetime ban on owning or purchasing firearms.
