Traffic stop leads to discovery of automatic weapon and drugs

“After stopping a car for a traffic violation Saturday night (10/02/21), an alert Folsom Police Officer found that the driver was carrying a loaded handgun, which had been illegally modified with a device to allow fully automatic firing.

After arresting the driver, the Officer continued to investigate and found prescription narcotic pills that were also possessed illegally.

The driver also admitted that he was associated with a street gang.

Christopher Medina, 20, of Rancho Cordova was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County jail for charges related to the handgun and drugs, as well as for committing a felony while out on bail, after we learned he was out on bail for another Felony violation.”
