“On August 5th at 2:46 a.m., a Placer County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop along Highway 65 and Sunset Boulevard, in Rocklin.
The deputy contacted and searched the driver and the passenger, who was found to have a clear glass pipe commonly used to smoke illicit drugs in his front pants pocket.
The deputy then searched the vehicle and found a black backpack behind the center console containing several plastic baggies with suspected methamphetamine. The deputy also recovered a Hi-Point semi-automatic C9 handgun with seven live 9mm rounds in the magazine from the backpack.
During the investigation, it was found the firearm was not registered to either suspect.
The driver, 49-year-old Aaron Trevino of Sacramento, was arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance while armed, his Sacramento County warrant, and other related charges.
The passenger, 41-year-old Alfredo Gomez Jr. of West Sacramento, was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm, being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition, and possessing a concealed weapon in a vehicle.”
