SUMMARY:  On Friday, December 8, 2023, at about 11:18 a.m., deputies assigned to the Morongo Basin Station attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by a known probationer driving without a license near Stagemans Road and Bowman Trail in Landers.

At the conclusion of the foot chase, Moses was taken into custody. Moses had two outstanding felony warrants for his arrest and was taken into custody.  Moses was booked at the Morongo Basin Jail for his felony warrants and violation of California Vehicle Code 2800.2(a) - Felony Evading a Peace Officer.
