A traffic stop on a tan Chevy Tahoe in Crockett led to the arrest of a 31-year-old Hercules man after Hercules Police Department discovered he had an outstanding felony warrant from Solano County, the department revealed in a social media post.
The vehicle was pulled over in front of the Dead Fish restaurant located at 20050 San Pablo Avenue on February 22. The driver, whose name has not been released, was taken into custody after the warrant was confirmed during the stop. Also, during the search, officers found a concealed firearm in the man's waistband, which escalated the charges against him, leading to a more problematic legal situation than if he had just faced the warrant itself.
The suspect was placed under arrest and confronted with the additional firearm possession charge; he was then transported to Martinez Detention Facility for further processing, as detailed in the Facebook post by the Hercules Police Department that was published on February 26.
