JULY 20, 2010

A 21-year-old King City man was arrested at Vanderhurst and Bassett Street on Saturday morning, sheriff's deputies said, after he failed to use his turn signals.

The Monterey County Sheriff's Office said that when Ruben Salvador Dejesus was pulled over in a 2003 Nissan Frontier pickup, he had no driver's license despite living in the United States for three years. A search of the vehicle showed that he had a fake resident alien card and fake U.S. Social Security card, deputies said, as well as two sealed, individually packaged bindles of methamphetamine.

Deputies said a search of his home turned up 1.25 ounces of methamphetamine and four grams of powder cocaine in his room, along with gang indicia, drug packaging, weighing scales and U.S. currency.
