The deputy initiated a vehicle enforcement stop on Hwy 4 near the county line and contacted the driver Kevin Russell Szigeti (25 years old, San Jose, CA). During the deputy&#8217;s contact, he noted Szigeti had a difficult time standing on his own, a difficult time communicating with the deputy, and other observations consistent with a person who is intoxicated. California Highway Patrol Officer responded and confirmed that Szigeti was driving while impaired. Szigeti was arrested without incident.<\/p>\n<p>A records check via dispatch revealed Szigeti\u2019s driver\u2019s license was suspended, and there was a no-bail arrest warrant issued from the Superior Court in Santa Clara, CA. While searching the vehicle, the deputy located a loaded semi-automatic handgun under the driver\u2019s seat. Upon inspection, the firearm had no serial number. The deputy also located suspected methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia (glass pipes), and suspected Methadone (without a prescription) inside the vehicle.<br \/>\nSzigeti was transported and booked into the Calaveras County Jail. He was charged with Penal Code 25850(C) (6) carrying a loaded firearm (not registered to the owner \u2013 felony), Health and Safety 11550 (C) use of controlled substance while possessing a firearm (felony), Vehicle Code 14601(A) Drive while license suspended (misdemeanor), Vehicle Code 23152 driving while impaired (misdemeanor) and the no-bail warrant. He is being held with no bail at this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Office would like to thank the citizens for alerting us of this possibly dangerous driver. Their information helped in getting this dangerous person off the street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copperopolis, CA&#8230; On December 14, 2020, at about 4:50 PM, The Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Dispatch Center received a report of a possible intoxicated driver traveling westbound Hwy 4 east of Telegraph Rd., Copperopolis.
