SEATTLE — A missing license plate on a suspicious car led to the arrest of a felon and the discovery of a gun and drugs.
On Monday at 10:11 p.m., patrolling officers spotted a suspicious car without a license plate in the 800 block of East Harrison Street in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Officers discovered the driver was impaired and had drug paraphernalia.
As police investigated, they saw a gun inside the car. After getting a search warrant, they found a loaded Polymer80 handgun and took it as evidence. What was suspected to be narcotics and drug paraphernalia were also recovered.
Because the driver was previously convicted of a felony, he is not allowed to have a gun.
The 42-year-old was arrested for DUI and unlawful possession of a firearm and was booked into the King County Jail.
