A man with a loaded .45-caliber pistol was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon by a Fresno police officer who noticed the car he was driving had an invalid registration sticker.
Sgt. Richard Tucker said the officer saw the 26-year-old man driving in a suspicious manner near Woodward and Cedar avenues in southeast Fresno. With a computer check, the officer determined that although the car's license plate bore a 2010 yellow tag, the vehicle's registration was expired.
When the officer pulled the man over, she reportedly learned that his driver's license had been suspended for driving under the influence. The man also admitted to the officer that he had a Ruger .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol in his waistband, authorities said.
He was booked into Fresno County Jail on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
