Jeronimo Carranza, 19, was wanted for drug possessing and gang crimes, but authorities determined this week that he's serving a state prison sentence at San Quentin. Sgt. Dan Campos from the Sheriff's Office said a hold was placed on Carranza but it may take a couple years to bring him back to face the charges.

Also, on Tuesday, Capitola police detained Daniel Ferreira, a "most wanted" suspect for the Scotts Valley Police Department. Ferreira was wanted for a Scotts Valley home invasion attack that occurred in February. He was stopped for a traffic violation in Capitola and arrested on warrants for unlawful entry, battery and possession of stolen property.
