• An officer investigating a DUI found a two-shot derringer .22 gun in the passenger side floorboard of the truck concealed with a plastic bag.  Both occupants were intoxicated and denied owning the gun.  Both occupants also denied knowing whose truck it was.  The driver was a convicted felon, so the gun was recovered, and the driver was charged as a convicted felon with a firearm  and the passenger was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.  The report said the occupants were coming from Taco Mac after a night of drinking.
