KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Another gun has been taken off the streets of Kalamazoo thanks to an observant public safety officer who spotted an improper plate on a car in the Edison Neighborhood.
Instead of just stopping, the driver and passenger of the car both jumped out of the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. The driver was quickly detained.
The younger passenger kept running.
The 35-year-old driver was very drunk and later tests revealed a high blood alcohol count. A search of the vehicle turned up a .380-caliber handgun.
The suspect, a man from Kalamazoo, was arrested for driving drunk and several gun felonies.
