A search also revealed a Derringer pistol strapped to his right ankle.

Police took the driver into custody and confiscated the two weapons.

“We continue to see drivers put themselves and others at risk by overdriving their capabilities,” said Lt. Mike Shaw. “In this case, not only did the driver make poor driving decisions, the investigation also took two firearms out of our neighborhood.”
