A traffic stop in Yucca Valley led to the arrest of a man alleged to be in possession of an illegal weapon and drugs.
On Halloween just before midnight, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a routine traffic stop on a vehicle near the intersection of Twentynine Palms Highway and Adobe Rd in Twentynine Palms.
