A stolen handgun was recovered during a traffic stop.

Drivers were also given citations for the following offenses: thirty citations were issued for speeding, seven for expired registration, two for no insurance, three for possession of marijuana, two for no seatbelt, two for minor in possession of alcohol, one for obstruction, five for no operator’s license, one for procuring alcohol to minors, one stop sign and one for willful reckless driving. Deputies also assisted fourteen motorists on the roadways during this time.
