NHP confiscates gun, drugs from vehicle

The Nevada Highway Patrol says it confiscated a gun and drugs from a vehicle whose driver troopers arrested on suspicion of DUI.

The patrol this afternoon announced the bust via its Twitter account with photos of a gun, several magazines and bright-colored packages displayed on the hood of a vehicle.

The suspect was prohibited from owning a gun and is suspected of intending to sell the drugs, the patrol said.

The patrol could not immediately be reached to provide further details about the incident.

“There is now #oneless bad guy and #onelessgun endangering our community,” the tweet said.
