Traffic stop ends in gun arrest

The Wayne County Prosecutor's office is reviewing potential charges against a 26-year-old Inkster man stopped by Michigan State Troopers at about 9:25.p.m. Aug. 19.

According to police reports, the troopers were on patrol in the city as part of the Secure Cities Patrol when they conducted a traffic stop on a red, 2008 Cadillac CTS on Inkster Road near Northwood Drive. Troopers said the stop was made after observing a vehicle equipment violation. 

The driver of the Cadillac was found to be in possession of a loaded, unregistered 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol. The driver, police said, did not possess a concealed pistol license. Further investigation revealed several outstanding warrants for his arrest. 

The driver was lodged at the Inkster Police Department pending the prosecutor's review of charges in the incident, police said.
