An unusual traffic violation in Minneapolis led to a significant find for local police when a driver was spotted cruising north on Blaisdell Avenue—a strictly southbound one-way street. According to a post on the Minneapolis Police Department's official Facebook page, this navigational no-no quickly escalated into something more serious.
When officers initiated the stop, the situation unraveled to reveal layers of illegality. The discovery included a gun of the future: a 3D-printed firearm, the technology that has made gun regulations more complex. Officers also found nearly $2,000 in cash and what they suspected to be a stash of illegal narcotics. Adding to the gravity, the driver was under the influence and, to make matters worse, had a child accompanying him in the vehicle.
The mishap landed the wayward driver in the Hennepin County Jail.
