WANTED IN YAKIMA --
The hunt is on for this four-time felon caught with a firearm.

Yakima Police say the 9mm handgun was loaded and stuffed under the driver's seat of a stolen car that Susan Burnaroos was pulled over in last year.

Officers also found a golf ball-sized chunk of meth -- and a bunch of baggies to sell it with.

Burnaroos pleaded guilty to Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Deliver and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.

She was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. Yakima Police say a judge gave her two weeks to handle her personal affairs, but she never showed up to start her sentence.

Her felony convictions include drugs and residential burglary.

She’s 38 years old, 5’8”, 170 pounds, with a pierced upper lip and a ton of tattoos.
