White Plains resident Camilo Frost Garcia, 18, is facing weapons charges following a late-night traffic stop at a busy intersection in La Plata.
An officer on patrol in the 200 block of Kent Avenue in La Plata stopped Garcia shortly after 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 18 after he committed a vehicle and traffic violation in the area, according to a spokesperson from the sheriff’s office.
During the stop, the officer said that it was determined that Garcia, who is prohibited from having a firearm due to his age, was in possession of a loaded weapon and he was taken into custody without incident.
He was also in possession of a quantity of marijuana, investigators noted.
Garcia was arrested and charged with illegal possession of a firearm, illegally transporting a firearm, and other related charges.
He was released from the Charles County Detention Center by a district court commissioner after paying 10 percent of a court-ordered $2,500 bond.
