Tuolumne, CA…Deputy V. Lee conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a black Chevrolet Tahoe on Yosemite Road at Hershey Road West in Tuolumne early this morning. There were three people in the SUV. Deputy Lee spotted a gun in the SUV just as 25-year-old Alexandro Xavier (pictured in this post) ran from the front passenger seat. Xavier is wanted on a Tuolumne County traffic warrant, San Joaquin County warrants for drug charges, and an Escalon Police Department warrant for a weapons charge. Deputies gave chase when it was safe to do so, but came up empty handed.

The driver, 29-year-old Clay Aho, was arrested for possession of a concealed and loaded un-registered pistol while also possessing methamphetamine. The third person in the SUV, a woman, was released from the scene without any charges.
