By Brentwood Police Department
Last Wednesday, Brentwood officers were in the area of Lone Tree Way and Highway 4 when they located a vehicle that was wanted for evading police. Upon locating the car, a CHP unit was also in the area and attempted to do a traffic stop but the vehicle evaded police and the car was last seen in the area of Claremont Drive and Brookdale Drive.
While Brentwood officers were searching the area for the vehicle, Dispatch received calls from residents in the area advising of an abandoned vehicle and suspicious person hiding in the bushes. Based on the time and distance of where the vehicle was last seen, Brentwood officers immediately responded to the area and established a perimeter.
Shortly after, officers spotted a male in all dark clothing with a mask, and the male fled from officers and started jumping nearby fences in adjacent yards.
A Brentwood officer, who was on the perimeter, saw the male, identified as 23-year-old Carlos Elizalde-Ortiz of Pittsburg, and he was taken into custody.
Officers located Elizalde-Ortiz’s vehicle and found fentanyl, ammunition and two magazines. A loaded firearm was located the following day, which was determined to be consistent with Elizalde-Ortiz’s path when he fled from police.
Elizalde-Ortiz, who is a convicted felon, was arrested for evading police, being a felon in possession of drugs and a firearm, and other related charges.
According to the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department, 6-foot, 2-inch, 210-lb. Elizalde-Ortiz is being held in the West County Detention Facility on no bail and is scheduled for release on March 29, 2024.
According to localcrimenews.com, he was also arrested by Pittsburg Police on April 16, 2022, for multiple and similar drug and drug charges. Elizalde-Ortiz was arrested by Pittsburg Police on July 14, 2021, on similar drug and gun charges including selling and/or converting a firearm into a machine gun.
