EASTCHESTER - A routine checkpoint in Eastchester led to a truck driver being found with an AR-15 assault rifle, a handgun, and a few high-capacity magazines, police said.

Camron Sharod Burton, a resident of Ocala, Florida, was arrested on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has a criminal history in Florida that includes several arrests, court records show.

On Wednesday, officers were conducting a traffic safety checkpoint on Labelle Road to look for vehicle inspection, registration, and equipment violations, Eastchester Police Chief Timothy Bonci said.

Officers spoke to Burton, who was driving a large box truck and asked for directions because he was lost, police said.

In the truck officers saw the rifle and a 9-mm handgun, which Burton said he had a Florida permit for, police said. He illegally possessed the guns and the high-capacity rounds — a loaded 100-round drum magazine, loaded 60-round magazine, loaded 30-round magazine, and two unloaded 30-round magazines — in New York, though, police said.

Burton was charged with two felony counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. The 26-year-old was arraigned in Eastchester Town Court and is due back on April 17. He is being held without bail at the Westchester County jail.

"We encourage all of our officers to be proactive in their patrol efforts," Bonci said in a statement. "The two officers that made the initial observation were involved in conducting a vehicle safety checkpoint. Arrests such as these highlight the effectiveness of proactive police tactics in not only enforcing the traffic laws, but helping the police uncover more serious violations."

Burton's brushes with the law include arrests in Marion County in Florida on charges related to assault, resisting arrest, petty theft, drug possession, driving with a suspended license, stalking, and inhumane treatment of animals.
