Anne Arundel County Police were checking businesses in Annapolis’ West Street corridor Friday afternoon. During the checks, an officer located a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of the McDonald’s at 1941 West St.

Police say the officer was given permission to search the vehicle, which turned up a small amount of marijuana, an AR-15 style .22 caliber rifle with ammunition, two stun guns and a face mask. Investigators checked an online database and found the driver was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to a prior crime of violence.
