Police K-9 Roscoe sniffed out a wanted South Bay man’s homespun drug paraphernalia and illegal handgun during a DUI stop Saturday night in Vacaville, officials said Sunday.

Officers pulled over 37-year-old San Jose resident Chi Ung after he was reported to be swerving and nearly slammed into another car near Orange Drive and Interstate 80, Vacaville police said.

During the stop, officers discovered Ung had an outstanding felony warrant after he didn’t show up for a court date on a burglary charge out of Napa County, officials said.

While police searched the vehicle, Roscoe sniffed out a blackened glass pipe and another dope-smoking device fashioned out of a baby-food jar and pen, police said. Officers said they also found a loaded, unregistered 9mm handgun in the car.

On top of the outstanding warrant, officers arrested Ung on suspicion of possession of a concealed firearm in a car, possession of a loaded firearm in a public place, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was booked in Solano County Jail where he’s being held on $34,100 bail.
