The driver who fled a police traffic stop early Wednesday prompting an hours-long search of a neighborhood and who was arrested for possession of stolen property, identity theft, conspiracy and resisting arrest has been identified as Armando Garcia of San Jose.

The 30-year-old also had an outstanding warrant for a previous resisting arrest charge from San Jose Police Department.

Stolen property recovered from the Honda Civic Garcia was driving includes mail and a California handicap placard.

Two other people in the car at the time were also arrested in connection with items found in the car.

Antoinette Barrios, 21, also of San Jose was arrested on charges of possession of stolen property, identity theft and conspiracy. And Gaudencio Rodriguez, 30, of San Jose was booked on charges of possession of stolen property.

According to sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza, at about 1 a.m. in the area of Moorpark and Saratoga Avenues a Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy pulled over the Honda Civic Garcia was driving for a vehicle code violation. Garcia didn’t stop but continued to drive slowly for a few blocks and abruptly stop in the right lane of Moopark at Camina Escuela, which is about a half-mile from the Cupertino border.

As the deputy approached the car Garcia jumped out and ran. Barrios and Rodriguez remained in the vehicle, were uncooperative but said Garcia may have a weapon.

A K-9 unit from Sunnyvale police was called in to assist deputies who searched the neighborhood for hours. Garcia was located about 4:30 a.m. hiding near a shed in a yard a couple blocks from where he was pulled over.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation of some scratches thought to be obtained when while running from police.
