Upon initiating contact with the driver, police discovered that the man had an outstanding felony warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Officers also discovered that the man was on probation and parole for a variety of prior convictions.
During a search, police also found a “ghost gun,” which is a gun that is difficult to trace because it lacks a serial number. According to officers, the gun appeared to be homemade.
The Sacramento man was booked into a Sacramento County jail for his existing warrant and a new possession charge for the ghost gun.
