Matt Simmons, the star of Animal Planet’s docuseries “Wolves and Warriors” got busted for allegedly hoarding a massive cache of guns and ammo … a big no-no for convicted felons.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant Monday at Simmon’s home for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. We’re told cops detained Simmons as he drove away from his residence, and deputies found a loaded .45 caliber handgun in his car and more guns and ammo in his home.
Our sources say deputies discovered 14 firearms inside Simmons’ residence, including assault rifles, a sawed-off shotgun and thousands of rounds of ammo.
We’re told Simmons is a convicted felon, meaning he’s prohibited from owning or possessing any firearms or ammo.
Our sources say Simmons was arrested on a slew of charges … including felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, possession of an assault weapon, carrying a concealed firearm within a vehicle, carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, unlawful transfer of a firearm, and possession of substance, material, or any combination with intent to make any destructive device/explosive.
We’re told Narcotics and Gangs Units assisted Ventura County Sheriffs in serving the warrant, as well as California State Parks.
Our sources say Simmons posted $100,00 bail and he’s due in court June 11.
