Two people arrested on drug dealing and weapons charges in Elk Grove
ELK GROVE - Two people were arrested on various drug- and gun-related charges over the weekend in Elk Grove.
According to the Elk Grove Police Department, on Friday around 3 a.m., an officer stopped a car for undisclosed code violations. When the officer spoke to the people -- the driver and a single passenger -- inside, the officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. And for good reason.
Officers searched the vehicle, and inside, found more than two pounds of marijuana, a large number of prescription pills, a concealed rifle and ammunition, and other items related to narcotic sales.
The driver and passenger were arrested on numerous firearm and narcotic sales/transportation charges and booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail where they remain in custody.
Police say the driver also didn't even have a license.
