Gun, prescription drugs, and fake social security card found during I-75 traffic stop

Police found a gun, drugs, and much more after pulling a car over for speeding on I-75 Sunday morning.

A vehicle traveling close to 100 mph in a 70 mph zone was pulled over around 4 a.m. yesterday near Eight Mile. Michigan State Police that initiated the traffic stop noticed he had a bottle of prescription medicine in plain view inside the vehicle.

They then asked if they could search the vehicle. 

After consenting to a search, police found a concealed 9 mm automatic pistol, 12 unopened bottles of prescription medicine, four fake IDs with a stolen identity, and a fake social security card.

The driver, later identified by police as a 31-year-old man from Warren, also did not have a valid concealed pistol license. 

He was taken to the Oakland County Jail for prosecutorial review.
