Newark police later pulled over the suspect’s car in the West Ward after allegedly seeing him commit a traffic violation.

When police officers walked toward the vehicle, they allegedly spotted the suspect tossing an object into the rear of the car. A later search of the vehicle allegedly led to police discovering a loaded .45-caliber automatic handgun in the backseat.

When police found the handgun, they arrested the 31-year-old suspect. The suspect, who is from Easton, Pennsylvania, was subsequently charged with several weapons offenses, including unlawful possession of a weapon. Police also cited the suspect for multiple traffic violations.
