VSTF officers were on the trail of a suspect involved in selling cocaine and Xanax who they had authored a search warrant for. They spotted him leaving his residence in a Toyota Camry and attempted a traffic stop near Boronda Rd. and N. Main St., but he refused to yield. His slow speed attempt to escape didn’t last long, officers performed a successful PIT maneuver at Santa Rita St. and E. Bolivar St., bringing the pursuit to an end.
A search of his vehicle and residence uncovered $11,506 in cash, approximately 9 grams of cocaine packaged for sale, and 92.8 grams of Alprazolam.
He was taken into custody and booked into Monterey County Jail on drug charges.
