A Santa Rosa police officer who stopped a vehicle for having a light out early Saturday stumbled on a pair of loaded guns, including one stolen from Livermore a dozen years ago.
The 20-year-old driver and 19-year-old passenger were accused of firearms violations.
The 20-year-old man was found with a .40 caliber Springfield XD-40 semi-automatic handgun. It had been reported stolen in Livermore in 2013, police said. The passenger, also male, was reportedly carrying an unregistered, privately made 9mm P80 firearm.
The pair attracted police attention because of the odor of marijuana from their vehicle and open containers of marijuana in plain view, police said. They are under 21, the legal age for marijuana possession. That triggered the search that led to discovery of the guns.
Editor’s note: The suspects’ names are being withheld in accordance with Embarcadero Media Foundation’s policy on identifying arrestees for certain crimes before formal charges are filed by prosecutors.
