Sheriff’s deputies with the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s station conducted two proactive traffic enforcement patrols in Yucca Valley last Friday and Sunday. The traffic enforcement deputies were in addition to the deputies who are regularly assigned to patrol Yucca Valley. Over the two days, the deputies stopped 114 people; of those contacts, 87 resulted in traffic citations, including moving and equipment violations. Six vehicles were towed for expired registration and unlicensed drivers, and four arrests were made for narcotics, providing false information to a peace officer, and on warrants. Five active gang members were contacted and documented.
