Blast from the Past: Polaroid of Firearms from 1995 Traffic Stop


I was digging in a desk drawer tonight and I found something really interesting. It was a Polaroid (remember them) picture. Back in 1995, as a Patrol Division Deputy Sheriff with the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, I stopped a vehicle on Interstate 25. To make a long story short, I arrested the male driver and found a huge cache of firearms and ammunition. The bad stuff is spread out on the hood of my Chevrolet Caprice patrol car for evidentiary photo purposes. It is a good thing that the driver didn't use any of that firepower on me before I knew what he had. Talk about a blast from the past.
