Convicted Felon Arrested After Rifle Found During Traffic Stop in Santa Rosa

A convicted felon on probation was arrested in Santa Rosa after being found with a rifle. On Tuesday evening, an officer and his K-9 partner stopped a pick-up truck for a vehicle code violation. The officer asked the driver, 27-year-old Jose Torrestepuri, to get out of the vehicle when he thought he saw a knife handle under his right leg. It turned out to be a screwdriver. The K-9 officer sniffed around the truck and alerted his partner near the driver’s door of the truck. The officer found a loaded rifle in a black plastic bag in a large toolbox in the bed of the truck behind the cab. Torrestepuri was arrested on several charges related to firearms and violation of probation.
