A Grosse Pointe man was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon after a traffic stop Oct. 10 in Lyon Township.

The traffic stop came after an Oakland County Sheriff's deputy spotted a vehicle towing a trailer without working lights heading west on Pontiac Trail, near Old Plank, just before 9:30 p.m.

The driver, 56, was found to have a loaded firearm concealed in his waistband. An unspecified quantity of marijuana and narcotics paraphernalia were found in the glove box of the vehicle. Both the driver and the passenger, a 58-year old Galesburg man, were found to have valid medical marijuana cards.

After determining the driver did not have a concealed pistol license, the man was arrested for having a concealed weapon. He was arrested and transported to the Oakland County Jail pending criminal charges.

The passenger was released at the scene. Detectives will be continuing with the investigation.
