FRENCHTOWN TWP. — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says a pistol was seized during a traffic stop in Frenchtown Township.
Deputy Sheriff Cody Carena stopped a vehicle on North Monroe Street near Stewart Road late Monday morning. While checking paperwork, he saw a pistol in the car’s center console.
The driver told the deputy he had a concealed pistol license, but records showed it expired in 2020.
The pistol was taken as evidence. The driver, a 61-year-old Monroe resident, was released while charges are reviewed.
