Revolver found during traffic stop 5-28-2022 (Santa Rosa Police)
Santa Rosa police arrested two people during a traffic stop for possessing an unregistered handgun. On Saturday night, officers saw a white Toyota Tundra truck driving on West 3rd Street – the car was being driven by 23-year-old Miguel Jasso. The officers knew that Jasso was out of custody on pre-trial supervision which included terms to submit to warrantless search and seizure. They conducted a traffic stop to make sure he was following the terms of his release. During the search, they asked both Jasso and his passenger, 20-year-old Jacqueline Garcia-Lopez to get out of the vehicle. Officers noticed the outline of a revolver in the front of Garcia-Lopez’ pants. The loaded gun was not registered to Garcia-Lopez and Jasso acknowledged he knew of the gun. They were both arrested for gun possession charges while Jasso was also arrested for violation of pre-trial release.
