A search of a red Chevrolet Beretta in American Canyon turned up a .357 magnum and six baggies of marijuana early Saturday morning. American Canyon police arrested two Vallejo men — Brandon Singleton and Terry Jasper, both 18 — on suspicion of possession of a dangerous weapon, carrying a loaded firearm in public, possession for sale of marijuana and other charges after the vehicle they were riding in came to a halt at Highway 29 and Mini Drive.

Police followed the vehicle and pulled the men over after they failed to stop for two stop signs, American Canyon Police Sgt. Mike Collins said. Singleton and Jasper were booked into the county jail.

American Canyon Police made another arrest late Sunday evening after spotting two suspicious pedestrians on Donaldson Way. Police stopped Robert Henderson of Vallejo, who was accompanied by an unnamed female. American Canyon Sgt. Mike Collins said Henderson, 37, was carrying two knives and was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a hypodermic syringe and other charges.
