St. Louis, MO – A 26-year-old man with multiple active warrants was arrested last week after officers observed him driving recklessly in the Baden neighborhood, according to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
District 6 officers initiated a traffic stop after noticing the vehicle’s erratic behavior. Police say the driver, identified as a convicted felon, was taken into custody without incident after officers confirmed his outstanding warrants.
During the arrest, officers reportedly found a tan pistol and marijuana in plain view inside the vehicle. The suspect was booked accordingly, authorities said.
The incident underscores ongoing efforts by SLMPD officers to address criminal activity and traffic violations in north St. Louis neighborhoods. Police did not release the man’s name pending formal charges.
Residents are encouraged to report reckless driving or suspicious activity by contacting the department’s non-emergency line.
