3 Guns Seized During Traffic Stop in Pasadena

A traffic stop in Pasadena early Monday resulted in the seizure of three loaded handguns and the arrests of two suspected gang members, police said.

Officers pulled over a car containing three people about 4:10 a.m. due to expired registration and illegal window tint at Colorado Boulevard and Lotus Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. Sean Dawkins said.

The driver was soon found to be unlicensed and he was on probation, along with one of the two passengers, he said.

A search of the vehicle turned up three loaded handguns.

The driver, identified as Darren Wayne Lockett, 33, of Pasadena, as well as passenger Davion Ogletree, 30, of Pasadena were booked on suspicion of weapon-related violations, according to police and Los Angeles County booking records. The other passenger was not arrested.

Both suspects were being held without bail pending their initial court appearances, records show.
