A man on probation was arrested during a traffic stop and was allegedly found with drugs in his sock while being booked into jail. 

On Tuesday (January 6) at around 10:30 p.m, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with an expired registration near the intersection of Paxton Road and Balboa Avenue in Yucca Valley. Deputies identified one of the passengers as David Daniels, a 48 year-old resident of Yucca Valley.
