Police said they were conducting the spot check in the area of Dixie Road and North Service Road at around 1 a.m. when the incident occurred.

Officers had arrested a driver for allegedly driving impaired– but later found a loaded weapon. Police did say what kind of weapon was seized during the arrest, but a photo supplied by police shows a small handgun with ammunition.
