Another gun off our streets Yesterday, shortly after 1:00 am, Deputies Parker and Solorio encountered a reckless driver in the area of northbound Interstate 5, near Country Club Blvd. in Stockton. They initiated a traffic stop, but the driver failed to yield and took off at a high rate of speed. A pursuit ensued, that led the deputies into a neighborhood off Quail Lakes and March Lane. ... The suspect was driving the wrong way at one point , so the pursuit was terminated. A short distance later, the suspect vehicle was found abandoned in the middle of the road with the driver’s door standing open. Sitting on the front seat was a loaded AR-15 style rifle with a forty round magazine, and no identification numbers. The weapon was immediately secured and a search for the driver followed, but he was not found. Investigation is still ongoing to identify the driver.

Thank you San Joaquin County for staying vigilant. ... ******************************************************** We need your help in locating this escapee! Last night at approximately 10:45 pm, a San Joaquin County Jail inmate escaped from the Honor Farm Facility. An officer at the jail was alerted by an alarm on one of the housing barracks doors. An emergency count was immediately done, at which time inmate Porfirio Torres Vasquez was not present. The Patrol Division was immediately notified and thorough checks were made of the Honor Farm grounds and surrounding areas, all with negative results. Porfirio Torres Vasquez is a 37-year-old, standing 5’10 and weighing 150 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. He was facing several felony charges including: burglary, being a prohibited person owning or in possession of ammunition, criminal threats, vandalism and vehicle thefts. His bail was set at $400k. There is a warrant for his arrest now for escape charges. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office at 209-468-4400 immediately. **Due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation only accepting a very limited number of inmates that are sentenced to state prison, the San Joaquin County Jail has been forced to house inmates at the minimum-security facility that would not be considered for such housing under normal circumstances.
