From Sandy Louey:
A traffic violation on Sunday night led Roseville police to make six arrests and seize drugs and weapons.
At 10:38 p.m., officers were on patrol on Sixth Street when they passed a white Chevrolet Tahoe SUV whose rear license plate was out. The driver ducked down as if to avoid being seen, said Dee Dee Gunther, spokeswoman for the Roseville police department, in a news release.
When officers made a U-turn to stop the SUV, the vehicle sped away across Riverside Avenue onto Darling Way, swerving and traveling in the wrong lane. As the SUV approached Vitale Street and Vine Way, the driver jumped out and fled, police said.
The vehicle continued and collided with some bushes before coming to a stop. One passenger was detained, while officers tracked the driver to an apartment in the 500 block of Vine Way, Gunther said.
Five people, including the driver, were inside the apartment. Methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, scales and other items associated with drug sales, prescription narcotics, a stun gun and two loaded handguns were found during a search of the apartment, police said.
