Two arrested near Rio Del Mar following alleged road rage incident

Two Morgan Hill men were arrested for possession of marijuana for sale and gun related charges.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office officials say deputies responded to reports of a driver pointing a firearm at another person during a road rage incident. They say a witness was able to provide deputies with a license plate number and the type of car. 

The car was found a short time later near Rio Del Mar Beach. Deputies detained the driver and a passenger, 20-year-old Damian Hernandez, and 18-year-old Israel Ibarra, both Morgan Hill residents. Deputies say Ibarra was in possession of a stolen firearm and Hernandez had a firearm that was not registered to him. 

The men also had several hundred dollars in cash and approximately 140 grams of marijuana in the vehicle, according to deputies.

They were both taken into custody for the possession of marijuana for sale and gun related charges.
