However, as officers approached one of the cars, they saw an AK-47 pistol in “plain view,” the release shows.
Police said they then searched the car, finding a loaded AR-15-style pistol, two handguns, several loaded magazines, MDMA and cannabis.
As a result, Maurice Thompson, 18; Jahlanee Charles, 25; and Shane Collie, 21, were arrested on charges stemming from firearm and drug violations.
All three face charges of cannabis possession. Thompson faces two additional counts of illegal concealed carry, Charles faces charges of illegal open carry and possession of amphetamines, and Collie faces a charge of firearm possession while under indictment.
