A traffic stop was initiated, where the officer reportedly learned the driver had an active warrant out for his arrest. He was taken into custody.
A search of the vehicle reportedly led to the seizure of 15 double-edged knives -- including three with brass knuckle handles -- two throwing stars, two sets of brass knuckles, five loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun, a loaded rifle and a sword with a 32-inch blade.
Police said they found two open containers of alcohol inside the vehicle and that the driver had falsified his electronic logging device records.
The next day, the driver -- identified as 54-year-old Eric Koroscik of Kingwood, Texas -- was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
More charges are expected to be filed.
Koroscik is scheduled to return to court April 10.
