TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Tucson Police officers recently stopped a suspected drug dealer near Grant Road and Interstate 10.

During the traffic stop, officers with the Westside Community Response Team first discovered a stolen handgun in the driver's vehicle.

A search led officers to find nearly 100 grams of fentanyl pills, powder cocaine, another loaded handgun, and close to $10,000.

The driver was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail on several felony charges.

"CRT squads across Tucson continue to remove illegal drugs and weapons from our community," TPD wrote in a post to Facebook.
