Woodland Traffic Stop Leads to DUI and Firearm Arrests

During the stop, a 17-year-old male juvenile was present as a passenger in the vehicle. The officer observed a firearm in the juvenile’s possession. When the officer attempted to take the juvenile into custody, he fled the scene, leading to a brief foot pursuit. The officer successfully apprehended the juvenile shortly thereafter.

Upon his arrest, the juvenile was discovered to be in possession of two loaded handguns. Following the incident, Marquez was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of driving under the influence and child endangerment. The juvenile was also taken into custody and booked into the Yolo County Juvenile Detention facility, facing charges for carrying a loaded firearm and being a minor in possession of a handgun.

This incident raises questions about firearm safety among minors and the consequences of impaired driving. Authorities are likely to conduct further inquiries into the situation and its broader implications.
