Simon Cardenas, from Houston, Texas was arrested following a traffic stop on Saturday.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The College Station Police Department recovered stolen guns and arrested three people following a traffic stop in the 2500 block of Texas Avenue. 

On Saturday, police officers pulled over a vehicle and, with the assistance of a K9 unit, found a gun in the car. The gun had been previously reported as stolen to the Houston Police Department, per College Station PD's release.
