FOX 2 - An I-96 traffic stop of a Detroit led police to find a gun and bag of suspected crack cocaine in his vehicle.
The 34-year-old driver was pulled over by a Metro South Michigan State Police trooper on westbound I-96 near Wyoming in southwest Detroit late Wednesday evening.
The man was going 95 in a 55 miles per hour posted section of the freeway. A roadside investigation found the man allegedly impaired.
Inside his vehicle a loaded .45 revolver and bag of suspected crack under the driver's seat.
The driver was lodged at the Detroit Detention Center pending prosecutor review.
"Another driver made a poor decision by driving impaired," said F/Lt. Mike Shaw. "This suspect made matters worse by driving at a excessive speed and having a loaded gun and drugs in the car. Great job by the troops to get this dangerous driver, gun and drugs off our roads."
