‘Simple' traffic stop in Vallejo over high beam lights leads to fugitive's arrest
(KRON) — A BMW driving with its high beam lights on caught the attention of Vallejo Police Department patrol officers over the weekend, leading to an arrest for multiple firearm violations, according to authorities. The officers observed the silver BMW X5 on Saturday driving with its high beams activated, which police said is 'used as a common tactic for some drivers to conceal a malfunctioning headlight.' The car then allegedly made an illegal U-turn over double solid yellow lines before officers initiated a traffic stop for both violations. The woman who was found behind the wheel had a suspended driver's license for driving under the influence, VPD said. Her passenger, a San Pablo man, had a felony warrant out of Fairfield for possessing an illegal firearm. During a search of the man, officers said they found a fully loaded, unregistered firearm with a high-capacity magazine tucked into his waistband. The man was arrested and booked into the Solano County Jail for the felony warrant and multiple firearm violations. The driver was cited for driving on a suspended license and released at the scene. Her BMW was towed. 'This case is a testament to the fact that even a simple traffic stop can lead to the removal of illegal firearms from our streets,' Vallejo police said.
