MANILA, Daggett County — A driver and his passenger were arrested after running from police Friday afternoon.
According to the booking affidavit, Garth Stringer, 53, was stopped on state Route 43 at 500 East after police noticed his black Chevrolet Silverado had a fraudulent license plate.
When asked for a license, registration, and proof of insurance, the affidavit said Stringer didn’t acknowledge the question and refused to leave the vehicle. The affidavit stated that Stringer said, “We are not going to do this again” as he would drive off.
Uinta County Sheriff’s Office were staged at milepost 120 on Wyoming Highway 414, past the Wyoming border, where they would eventually stop Stinger’s truck with a spike strip.
When searching the vehicle, police said they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia, along with a loaded firearm on the driver’s side floor.
According to the affidavit, both Stinger and his passenger Brittany Stephenson, 41, were transported to the Uinta County jail.
