From a Walnut Creek Police Department press release:

On Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at approximately 5:30 am, Walnut Creek Police Officers stopped a vehicle on Lancaster and Lancaster Court for a vehicle code violation. Officers quickly learned the vehicle had been stolen from Antioch. The driver of the vehicle, Ashley Freitas was arrested for possessing and driving a stolen vehicle. Her passenger, Jesse Zupancic was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm, ex-felon in possession of loaded firearm, violation of probation and several warrants. Officers found suspected stolen property inside the vehicle and are attempting to identify the owners. No one was injured during the arrest.

Freitas and Zupancic were both booked into Contra Costa County Martinez Detention Facility for the above charges.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Walnut Creek Police Department at (925)943-5844.

Props to the cops for the arrest. Not that it’s relevant, but I was thinking that it must be somewhat confusing if you live on Lancaster Ct. and have to give directions. “Go down Lancaster and make a left at Lancaster.”
