On May 7th at 3:59 p.m., officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 300 block of East Sterling. Upon stopping the vehicle officers contacted the occupants, identified as 27-year-old Eugene Morris of Baytown (driver) and 17-year-old Christina Garcia of Channelview (front passenger). During the stop, the occupants gave officers inconsistent and conflicting stories about where they were coming from and displayed nervous behavior. Officers would eventually conduct a search of the vehicle and locate several grams of marijuana and suspected Xanax, along with a handgun which was determined to have been stolen out of Louisiana, concealed in a backpack, which Garcia claimed. Both subjects were placed under arrest and transported to the Baytown Jail where Garcia was charged with Unlawful Carrying a Weapon, while Morris was charged with Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility.
