P. v. Chavez CA2/1
On December 6, 2015, a marked police unit attempted to stop a car driven by Joshua Gabriel Chavez (Chavez). Chavez refused to pull over. Chavez drove through several red lights, narrowly avoiding other cars while reaching speeds of 80 to 90 miles an hour. On December 29, 2015, Chavez again refused to stop when another marked police unit tried to initiate a traffic stop. Chavez drove erratically and swerved into oncoming traffic while reaching speeds of 85 to 100 miles an hour. Chavez eventually stopped his car. When police searched the car, they found several torn plastic baggies on the driver’s side floorboard. When police searched Chavez himself, they found a baggie with approximately five grams of methamphetamine in his pocket. A prosecution expert later testified that this was an amount intended for sale.
