Authorities in Woodland and Yolo County reported making two arrests over the weekend for weapon- and drug-related offenses.
The Woodland Police Department reported on its Facebook page that its officers responded Saturday to the area of Mallard and Quail drives after in response to a citizen’s report of a suspicious vehicle whose two occupants may have been taking drugs.
“Officers contacted the occupants of the vehicle and while speaking with them, one of the officers saw a handgun in plain sight in the driver’s door kick panel,” the post said. “Both subjects were detained and upon further investigation, the gun (a loaded 40-caliber Glock with a 20-round magazine) was discovered to be stolen out of Placer County. Additionally, the officers found cocaine and additional evidence of (drug) sales.”
Police arrested one of the occupants, identified as 20-year-old Joe Rodriguez Allison of Woodland, on charges including possession of stolen property, carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony, possession of a large-capacity magazine and drug-related counts, according to arrest log details.
That same day, the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office reported arresting a 30-year-old Weed man for unlawfully possessing a gun and narcotics.
Robert Nuanmanee was contacted while parked in the area of County Road 90 and Highway 16 east of Madison, where he initially gave deputies a false name, sheriff’s officials reported on Facebook. Deputies eventually tracked down his true name, along with the loaded .410 revolver, 1.5 grams of suspected heroin and several unlabeled pill bottles containing prescription pills including hydrocodone allegedly stashed inside his car.
Nuanmanee, 30, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of giving false information to a peace officer, possession of a loaded firearm with narcotics, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle and possession of heroin, sheriff’s officials said.
