On Saturday, at about 2 a.m., an Aberdeen police sergeant initiated a proactive traffic stop on a vehicle for equipment violations, in the 200 block of N F Street in Aberdeen.

The sergeant contacted the driver, and observed a revolver between the driver and passenger. The sergeant conducted field sobriety tests on the driver, who was subsequently arrested for DUI.

Upon a search, suspect cocaine was located on the driver. The passenger was later determined to be a convicted felon, and prohibited from possessing firearms.

He was also arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm.

A Quinault K-9 sergeant was contacted, and responded to the scene. His narcotics K-9 Havoc subsequently alerted on the vehicle, and it was seized for a search warrant. A search warrant was signed and executed on the vehicle, and an electronic scale and multiple plastic baggies indicative of intent to deliver were located along with $2,243 in cash. The items were subsequently seized.

The Ccocaine seized weighed approximately 20 grams. The suspects were booked into the Aberdeen Police Department jail.
