When officers couldn't see a temporary license plate in the tinted windows of a new car, they pulled it over in the 2600 block of Genesee. The driver failed to obey officer orders to stay in the vehicle, so for officer safety he was handcuffed and frisked. In the vehicle, in plain view, officers saw plastic baggies with suspected narcotics. The man also had baggies of marijuana in his pants pockets and a large wad of cash, mostly $20 bills. A narcotics dog was called to the scene and indicated that other narcotics were present. In all, rock cocaine, baggies (for packaging), and a digital scale were found, along with a stolen and loaded .40-caliber Glock handgun. The officers booked the suspect into King County Jail for investigation of drug and firearms charges.
