Arrested two reported gang members who were pulled over on Eaton Road and Constitution Drive Thursday night.
The passenger in the car, 21-year-old Johnny Cabrera, jumped out after the vehicle was pulled over and ran across a field into a business complex, according to a release from the Chico Police Department. As officers chased Cabrera, he threw a loaded pistol and methamphetamine in plastic bags to the ground and escaped in the area of Independence Circle. Police later determined the handgun was stolen from a Hamilton City resident. Police established a perimeter around the area and located Cabrera, who is reportedly a local criminal street gang member. He was arrested and booked into the Butte County Jail on eight different charges relating to the incident. His bail was set at $90,000. The driver of the car, 27-year-old Gabriel Holton, was on parole for drug sales when police pulled him over. Police said he is also a street gang member and was carrying methamphetamine at the time of the stop. He was arrested and is being held on a no-bail parole hold.
