Sheriff’s deputies were conducting a burglary follow-up investigation
near a residence on the 1400 block of Ridge Road in Railroad Flat.
During the investigation they observed a Jeep being driven by Carlos
Nunez (30) of Railroad Flat, pull into the driveway of the residence. An
alleged suspect in the burglary investigation, Johnny Miller (22) of
Railroad Flat, was a passenger in the Jeep. The deputies approached the
Jeep to speak with Miller.

license plate or a VIN plate. Officers of the California Highway Patrol
