A driver reportedly seen pointing two guns — one in each hand — out a window on I-75 was stopped Saturday evening in Troy, police said.

The ensuing search at southbound I-75 near Crooks Road resulted in police finding four guns, 134 rounds of ammunition, an open bottle of vodka and evidence of recent marijuana use, according to a news release from Troy Police Department. There were four male occupants in the red Ford Edge, and a witness also reported seeing one of the passengers pointing an "assault-type rifle," according to the news release.

Further investigating showed all the guns were properly registered, and two of the occupants were concealed pistol licence holders.

"Nevertheless, the behaviors of brandishing a weapon and possessing a weapon while consuming alcohol and/or drugs are illegal," authorities said in the news release.

The firearms include a Glock 17 handgun with a 30-round magazine, a Ruger SR9c pistol, a Draco 7.62x39-mm pistol with a drum barrel containing 59 rounds, and another Draco 7.62x39-mm pistol with a 30-round magazine. More ammunition was also found, police said.

"While this serves as a brazen example of irresponsible gun ownership, the Troy Police Department urges all gun owners to carefully evaluate their behavior when in possession of a weapon," police said in the release.

The news release doesn't specify whether anyone was arrested or what charges they may face, and public information officers didn't immediately respond to requests from the Free Press for additional information.

The incident remains under investigation, and additional witnesses are asked to call Troy police at 248-524-3477.
