Two people were arrested Tuesday after a traffic stop led to a chase that ended when the suspects’ vehicle crashed into a building on West Front Street.
Officers later found a large amount of marijuana in the vehicle, the Watsonville Police Department said.
Gabriela Melgoza, 20, and Adrian Rizo, 32, were charged with possession of marijuana for sale. Melgoza is facing charges for evading officers.
While on patrol, WPD officers saw a gray Chrysler 300 run a stop sign Tuesday night just before 9pm. Melgoza allegedly fled, and a few minutes later crashed into a building on the 0-100 block of West Beach Street, causing minor damage to a water line.
