Benicia police stopped two people early Saturday morning — the first, a 23-year-old female, for allegedly driving under the influence; and the second, the passenger of the car, for carrying a loaded gun stolen in another state.
The arrest occurred just after 1 a.m. near Military West and Southampton roads. After the vehicle was stopped, the female driver was arrested on suspicion of a DUI. The officers then searched the car and found the loaded gun, which the passenger — a 28-year-old male — admitted to being in possession of, according to the Benicia police.
The man was arrested and taken into custody, while the woman received a citation.
