CHP MML File Photo
Jamestown, CA – A Jamestown woman who was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over by the CHP ended up in handcuffs.
A CHP officer recently on patrol noticed a grey Nissan that had a headlight out on Rawhide Road, near Shell Road, just past the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Posse grounds in Jamestown. A record check revealed that the unidentified driver was unlicensed and also on “searchable probation,” according to the CHP.
A search of the vehicle turned up a small bag of methamphetamine and a glass smoking pipe. The right front passenger, 51-year-old Cynthia Lorena Morales, admitted it was hers, according to CHP spokesperson Officer Joshua McKernan. There was also a juvenile child inside the vehicle, whose age was not disclosed.
Morales was arrested for child endangerment and possession of drugs and paraphernalia.
