The first arrest occurred just after 3 p.m. Wednesday after deputies conducted a traffic stop on Lincoln Way and located an unregistered loaded firearm with a threaded barrel.
The driver, 43-year-old Joshua Lundquist of Foresthill, was arrested for illegal possession of an assault weapon, carrying an unregistered loaded firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.
At 2:43 a.m. Thursday morning, deputies conducted a traffic stop along Industrial Avenue, in rural Lincoln. Upon a search of the vehicle, deputies found a non-serialized, unregistered P80 semi-automatic firearm beneath the center console shifter of the vehicle.
