Two individuals encountered the law yesterday after a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of a concealed weapon. They resulted in arrests on weapons charges, as detailed in a Marin County Sheriff's Office report. Marin deputies, vigilant on patrol, pulled over a vehicle for a minor vehicular infraction at approximately 12:51 p.m., near southbound Highway 101 and Donahue Street exit.
The officers proceeded with the stop, which revealed more than they had bargained for. The car's two occupants, Bianca Chavez and Konya Mattie, were asked to step out during the officers' investigation. A search ensued, unearthing a Glock 19 handgun with a tan pistol grip, illicitly concealed under the front passenger seat, loaded and equipped not with a standard magazine but an extended high-capacity one, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office.
Further inspection of the handgun revealed that the serial number did not match either Chavez or Mattie, bringing into question their possession of the Glock. Their situation with the law intensified without the safeguard of proper registration linking the firearm to them.
The investigation culminated in the arrest of the two occupants. Marin County deputies took Chavez and Mattie into custody on a slew of weapons-related charges. Following the procedure, the report stated that the suspects found themselves en route to the Marin County Jail.
