The juvenile was taken into custody and booked into the Tehama County Juvenile Justice Detention Center on suspicion of possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription.

Traffic stop leads to arrest

When Corning police officers stopped a vehicle at 10:58 a.m. on Monday at Lincoln and McKinley avenues, the passenger, Ginny Torres, 20, of Red Bluff, falsely identified herself because she was wanted on a warrant out of Tehama County for probation violation, police said.

Torres was arrested and while being booked in to the Tehama County Jail admitted to being in possession of methampetamine, according to a police report. Torres was booked on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, transporation of methamphetamine and false identification to a peace officer. She was released on $40,500 bail.
