As police in Boston stopped a car for a stolen license plate, they spotted a large bayonet on the floor of the backseat, authorities said.
The stop ended with one man under arrest on a gun charge.
Officers on patrol around 9:50 p.m. Saturday in the area of Blue Hill Avenue and Livingston Street spotted a car with a stolen license plate.
Police stopped the car.
“As officers made contact with the motor vehicle, they observed a large bayonet on the floor of the backseat,” police said.
The driver, identified as 40-year-old Carolena Shephard, and her passenger, identified as 36-year-old Corey Hinds, were both removed from the car.
“Officers performed a pat frisk of Mr. Hinds and immediately felt a hard object that officers believed to be a firearm,” police said. “Officers recovered a loaded Jennings Firearm .22 caliber long rifle with six rounds in the magazine.”
Hinds was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. The bayonet was recovered and removed from the vehicle.
Shepard was arrested after police found that her license had been suspended. She had a default warrant out of Brighton District Court as well, police said.
A Jennings with a bayonet mount is extra killy.
