believed Mr. Zacarias to be traveling in. After monitoring the vehicle, a traffic stop was
conducted where the passenger of the vehicle was positively identified as Carlos Zacarias. He
was successfully taken into custody and booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Center on
his outstanding charges.
