NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Two Clearlake men were arrested on Tuesday after a Napa County Sheriff's deputy found them with drugs and a weapon.

Anthony David Sandoval, 20, and Dvelle Anthony Williams, 24, were taken into custody in the case, according to Capt. Doug Pike of the Napa County Sheriff's Office.

Pike said that at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday a Napa County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a Toyota Camry in the 600 block of Petrified Forest Road near Calistoga.

The deputy pulled the vehicle over for an equipment violation, specifically, tinted windows, Pike said.

Sandoval was driving, with Williams as his passenger. As the deputy was speaking with them, he could smell the odor of burnt marijuana, according to Pike.

Pike said the deputy then utilized his drug detection K9 partner, Nash, to do a drug sniff around the exterior of the vehicle. Nash alerted to the presence of a controlled substance in the vehicle’s trunk.

During a subsequent search of the trunk, the deputy located approximately 15 pounds of marijuana, which was individually packaged, Pike said.

In the passenger compartment, the deputy also located a loaded .22-caliber revolver under the driver’s seat, a holster under the passenger seat, $2,464 in US currency and some additional marijuana in the glove box, Pike reported.

Pike said both Sandoval and Williams were arrested for possession of marijuana for sales, transportation of marijuana and being armed in the commission of a felony.

Sandoval additional was charged with participation in a criminal street gang, Pike said.
