Woman Arrested on Concealed Weapon and Drug Paraphernalia Charges in Canton

A 23-year-old Sterling Heights woman was arrested on concealed weapon and drug paraphernalia charges after police conducted a traffic stop on Oct. 3, according to a police report.

During the stop, police smelled marijuana coming from the car and saw residue on the driver's side floorboard, the report said.

The woman told police there was no marijuana inside the car and gave her permission for a search. Once out of the car, she told police she had a gun in the car as well as a stun gun, and that they belonged to her friend who had left them in the car, the report said.

The woman also admitted that there was a grinder with marijuana residue inside her purse, the report said.  

During the search, police found a black Glock 26 9mm pistol lying on the floorboard, not hidden under the seat. They immediately secured and unloaded the weapon, the report said.
