SAN MATEO — San Mateo police have arrested two people on drug and child endangerment charges after a traffic stop Sunday night.
According to a police statement, an officer pulled over the suspect’s vehicle in the Casa de Campo and La Selva Street area around 11:45 p.m. for violating vehicle laws. Inside were four adults and a 5-year-old child, police said.
During a record check, police determined that both the driver and front passenger were on bail due to pending criminal charges and search conditions that allowed a probation search.
The passengers were then ordered to disembark. During the search, officers said they found a loaded and unregistered Glock 23 gun with a high-capacity magazine in the center console’s purse. Police also found cash and what officials said was a large amount of marijuana.
A search of the trunk turned up more marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and digital scales. In total, more than $2,000 in cash, 113.2 grams of marijuana, 2.37 grams of cocaine and 99.05 grams of methamphetamine were found, officials said.
