Upon arrival, the responding officers contacted a male on the sidewalk by the front doors of the business. When an officer attempted to contact the suspect the officer could see a handgun sticking out of the suspect’s pants.
Officers safely detained the suspect and removed the handgun from the his pants. A search was conducted in front of the area outside the business and two additional handguns were found discarded underneath the vehicles that were parked in front of the location.
During their investigation, officers viewed video surveillance footage but it could not be determined who discarded the two additionally found firearms.
