A California woman was arrested on weapons charges and sentenced to seven years in prison for heroin.
Lucresia Stone-Rojas, 46, was initially arrested on November 12, 2023 after a license plate reader identified a stolen car in El Cajon Porsche. The Justice Department said that during the traffic stop, authorities found a 9mm Walther pistol and ammunition.
Stone-Rojas was charged by the federal government with illegal possession of a firearm because she had previously had a felony conviction. She had not been stolen from the vehicle.
