Weapon seizure in Dallas

An officer attended Campbell Creek Pit Road for a report of an abandoned vehicle where two people appeared to be passed out inside with a large knife.

Both occupants were arrested, although one of them was wanted on a warrant out of Chase and held for court.

A search of the vehicle, which police say was uninsured and had mismatched license plates, revealed drugs, suspected stolen property, and weapons. Including a bb gun, a knife that folds into brass knuckles, a baton, a conductive energy weapon, a suspected explosive device, and a loaded firearm.
