18 August 2013, at approx. 12:22 am, an Officer stopped a Jeep
in the parking lot of Save Mart on Stockton Road for having a defective
windshield. The Officer contacted the driver who was identified as
Alexandro Xavier, 20 of Farmington.
A records check showed that Xavier had two active felony
warrants for his arrest. One was out of Escalon for felony possession of
a controlled substance; and for a felon being in possession of a
firearm. The other warrant was out of Ripon for felony possession of
Hash oil.
Xavier was taken into custody on the felony warrants without
incident. During a search of Xavier’s vehicle, a piece of PVC pipe with
caps on both ends was located. One of the caps had a hole drilled in it
and there were several smaller holes drilled in the body. It was
determined that the device was being used to manufacture hash oil and
contained marijuana.
Xavier was transported to the Tuolumne County Jail and booked
for the two felony warrants. He was also booked for felony possession of
a device used to manufacture concentrated cannabis/hash oil.
