VALLEJO, CA — A previously convicted felon was arrested after allegedly being caught with narcotics and a gun while driving on a suspended license in Vallejo.
According to a press release by the Vallejo Police Department, officers pulled over a black Mercedez-Benz without plates on eastbound Tennessee Street, near Helen Avenue, on Wednesday, Nov. 6.
Officers discovered that the vehicle’s registration had been expired for over six months, which meant it had to be towed, police said.
When officers conducted an inventory search of the vehicle, they reportedly found a firearm on the passenger floorboard, along with a “significant amount” of suspected methamphetamine.
The driver admitted to possession of the methamphetamine but claimed to have been unaware of the firearm, police said.
The driver was reportedly also found to be a convicted felon and the gun had been reported stolen out of Richmond. The driver was later booked at the Solano County jail.
