According to Lt. Robert Winn, on Friday, March 6 at around 4:24 p.m. Patrol Officer Ardit Potka stopped a 2014 BMW for routine traffic violations at the intersection of Central and Hudson avenues.

The driver, Joshua Guillaume, 19, of Albany, was found to have a loaded handgun in his waistband and he was arrested without incident.

The gun, a Taurus G2C 9 mm, had an illegal high capacity magazine with 11 rounds.

Also, during a search of the vehicle, police found a pound and a half of marijuana, concentrated cannabis and Xanax pills.

A day later, on March 7, at around 4:12 p.m., Patrol Officer Evan Alaxanian stopped a 1996 Honda for speeding at the intersection of Albany Street and Virginia Avenue.

The driver of the vehicle, Dewey Sims, 31, of Rensselaer, was found to have a handgun in his pants and he was arrested without incident.

The gun, a Raven, MP25, was loaded with eight rounds.
