Three suspected gang members were arrested early Sunday at a northeast Fresno hotel after officers found loaded firearms -- and a "Use a gun and you're done" poster -- in their car, police said.

The three men -- ages 18, 22 and 26 -- were found in the parking lot of the Homewood Suites near Herndon Avenue and Fresno Street with two loaded firearms and the rolled-up poster in their car, Fresno police Sgt. Paul Cervantes said.

Police had been called to the hotel because of reports of marijuana odors and an out-of-control party in one of the suites. Arriving officers spotted the three men in a car in the parking lot with beer cans in and around the car. Police later searched the home of one of the suspects and found another "Use a gun and you're done" poster on his wall.

The three were booked into Fresno County Jail on numerous weapons-related offenses, Cervantes said.
