Gig Harbor police arrested three people on Thursday after discovering illegal drugs and firearms inside a car at a local park, according to the Gig Harbor Police Department.

Officers responded to a report of three people passed out inside a car on August 8.

Once the area was secured, two men were arrested for actively possessing drugs, while a woman was detained.
