SAN DIEGO -- Harbor police officers who pulled over a driver for vehicle towing code violations found nearly 600 pounds of marijuana on the boat he was pulling, authorities said Monday.

Police arrested Brualio DeJesus and Jacyln Cisneros, both 31, on suspicion of transportation of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, said San Diego harbor police Lt. James Jordan.

Harbor police officers tried to pull over DeJesus for vehicle code violations on the 1500 block of Rosecrans Street around 6:45 p.m. Sunday, Jordan said.

DeJesus refused to comply and instead drove several blocks while followed by light-flashing, siren-blaring police cars. DeJesus finally stopped but came out of the vehicle and ran away along Rosecrans Street, Jordan said, adding he was pursued and arrested a short time later.

A harbor police dog found 589.5 pounds of marijuana in the boat being towed, Jordan said.

DeJesus was taken to San Diego Central Jail, with bail set at $70,150, according to jail records. He's scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.

Cisneros, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was arrested at the scene and taken to Las Colinas Detention Facility, with bail set at $60,150, according to jail records. Cosmeros is scheduled to make her first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
