According to the informant, the 18-year-old subject got into a a verbal altercation with the neighbor and told him, “I’m gonna take a 50 cal and shoot you!”

He longed for northern Ireland
Family and friends were understandably worried after a young man made a Facebook post declaring he would be departing Rancho Santa Margarita for Belfast later that day.
After seeing the post, a 9-1-1 call was made requesting a check on the 26-year-old man's welfare. It was suggested to the 9-1-1 operator the man might be drunk and possibly on medication for mental illness. Also gone was the man's vehicle, which had been considered inoperable for the past year.
Based on the social media postings, it was believed the subject was headed to a travel agent in Mission Viejo and then to LAX. He did answer a phone call and said he would call back, then failed to follow through.
After tracking down the father, deputies were given permission by phone to enter and search the residence. The subject was not found inside the residence. On his computer, deputies discovered a chatroom stating he was flying to Belfast today, and had his reservation secured, but there was no airline information.
The call was made Tuesday, 4:05 p.m., from Rosa.
