Traffic stop for vehicle code violations lands two in jail for the holiday weekend.
One of our Night Watch officers stopped a car for vehicle code violations on Friday around 3 am. When the officer made contact with the occupants, a strong odor of marijuana was emitting from the vehicle. The driver was also found to be driving without a license.
A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a large amount of prescription pills, over two pounds of marijuana, a concealed rifle along with ammunition, among other items related to narcotic sales.
Both the driver and passenger were arrested on numerous firearm and narcotic sales/transportation charges and booked at the Main Jail where they remain in custody.
Some good work to keep Elk Grove safe!
