SAN DIEGO — The son of former San Diego County Republican Party chair Tony Krvaric has pleaded no contest to a felony count of possessing an assault weapon.
Victor Krvaric, 24, who was arrested in September at his father's Scripps Ranch home, entered the plea last week to the lone count he faced. The plea was entered without any deals from the prosecution, according to a San Diego County District Attorney's Office spokesman, who said Krvaric could face up to three years in prison at sentencing, which is set for Dec. 23.
Police and prosecutors have not commented on what led sheriff's officials to seek a search warrant in September and the probable cause section of the affidavit for a search warrant has been sealed.
A gun violence restraining order was sought and granted against Krvaric around the time of his arrest, which alleged he "made threats of violence through social media towards LGBTQ + other races. Was in possession of illegal firearms + previously had possession of explosives."
Shortly after his arrest, Tony Krvaric, who served as the county's Republican Party chair for 14 years, issued a statement that read, "Our family is going through a difficult time and ask that our privacy be respected. As a father, I wish that the children of former public figures could experience life privately, like everyone else."
