Gun taken Off the Street

On November 17th, 2015 at 11:15 pm, a Morgan Hill Officer noticed a vehicle driving around the back portion of the parking lot at Quality Inn located on the 16000 block of Condit Rd. As the Officer got closer to the vehicle he noticed a mechanical violation and conducted a traffic stop. During the stop the officer learned one of the occupants was on probation for robbery. Based on how many people were in the vehicle coupled with the fact one of the individuals was on probation for robbery, the officer radioed for additional officers to respond. Once officers were in place he then ordered each person out one by one. As one of the individuals was exiting the vehicle, the officer heard a metal object strike the ground. The object that fell out of the vehicle was later determined to be a loaded handgun.
