(KRON) -- A teenager was arrested Monday after a Brentwood officer spotted a stolen firearm inside a car parked in a grocery store handicap spot, according to the Brentwood Police Department.
The officer checked out the vehicle at around 6 p.m. outside of Trader Joe’s on 5451 Lone Tree Way because it did not have a placard but was parked in a handicap space, police said. As the officer approached the vehicle, they saw a handgun with an extended magazine in plain view inside the car.
