What started as a simple traffic stop near Lone Tree Way and Highway 4 at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14, 2026, quickly turned into much more…
Officers spotted a vehicle with registration expired for over a year. A traffic stop was conducted, and officers contacted the driver, a 21-year-old male out of Stockton.
Due to the expired registration, the vehicle was towed—but that’s when things really took a turn.
During an inventory search, officers located a stolen Glock 9mm firearm hidden under the driver’s seat. The firearm had been reported stolen out of Richmond back in November 2022.
And that wasn’t all…
Officers also recovered:
- Over 400 grams of mushrooms

Needless to say, the driver was taken into custody for multiple firearm and narcotics-related offenses and later booked at the Martinez Detention Facility.
