An Elizabeth driver caught with a gun following a traffic stop told Little Ferry police it was because he’d been to Philadelphia and was “worried about what was currently happening there,” authorities said.

Amsell Osorio-Fuentes, 23, remained held in the Bergen County Jail following his arrest on drug and weapons charges shortly after 2:30 a.m. Thursday, records show.

It began when Sgt. John Andronaco spotted a 2012 Ford Focus with heavily tinted windows and an expired temporary registration in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at the corner of Main and Liberty streets, Police Chief James Walters said.

Andronaco stopped the car after Osorio-Fuentes made an illegal left out of the parking lot, the chief said.

 

Osorio-Fuentes “appeared overly nervous,” Walters said, adding that his hands were shaking and he was breathing heavily.

The sergeant smelled raw pot from inside the car as Osorio-Fuentes gave him a temporary registration card that didn’t produce a computer match, the chief said.

The jittery Osorio-Fuentes told Andronaco and backup Officer Michael Lee that he was “just tired and returning from work,” Walters said.

Asked three times whether he had a weapon in the car, Osorio-Fuentes repeatedly said no before admitting that he had a gun behind the passenger seat because “he had been in Philadelphia and was worried about what was currently happening there,” the chief said.

Philadelphia has endured a week of unrest following the shooting death of a city man who authorities said came at police with a knife. ATMs and subway kiosks have been blown up, looting has spread and a van was discovered with explosives inside.

Osorio-Fuentes consented to a search of his car that Walters said turned up a 9mm Glock 48 with a fully loaded magazine in a holster behind the front passenger seat, along with some pot.

He was arrested, processed and sent to the county lockup to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.

Brookside Towing removed and impounded the vehicle.

If you've got guns in the car, why are you smoking pot and driving like a douche nozzle at 2:30 am?   He must have been up studying for his Mensa test and needed a slurpee at 7-11 to keep going.

Did they take his FPID away?

I see nothing wrong here other than the registration and left turn.  Give him a ticket an on his way

Don't forget the tint, the weed and the loaded gun.

The courts will send him on his way with a slap on the peepee anyway.

Only if he illegally had obtained the gun.  Purchase legally and he is toast.
