A late night traffic stop on Sunday, June 28 left one man jailed and facing multiple felony charges.

Escalon Police said they pulled a vehicle over in the area of California and Brayton about 11:50 p.m. Sunday, because the car had an expired registration. Upon contacting the driver, officers learned he was on Probation and therefore searchable.

Following an investigation, which resulted in drugs, ammunition and drug packaging materials found, the man was arrested and booked at San Joaquin County Jail.

Officers identified the man as Albert Pfeffer, 21, of Escalon. He was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of marijuana for sale, transportation of marijuana, being a felon in possession of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and driving on a suspended license.

Police said they seized over 11.5 ounces of marijuana and four ounces of methamphetamine.

Pfeffer was booked with bail set at $175,885 and he is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 1 in Manteca Superior Court.
