Police told Action 4 News that Martin Rios of San Juan failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Buffalo and Athol Streets.
The traffic stop allegedly lead to a short chase.
Rios and two other men bailed out of the car once it came to a stop.
San Juan Police Sgt. Rolando Garcia said they recovered marijuana and a loaded rifle inside the car.
