Temple Sheriff Station deputies assigned to the South El Monte Special Assignment Team were proactively patrolling the City of South El Monte last night when they conducted a traffic stop for multiple vehicle code violations. During the investigation, Temple Station deputy located an illegal firearm and arrested the suspect on several felony weapons charges. This proactive enforcement helped remove a dangerous weapon from our streets and enhanced the safety of our community. Great work by our Temple Station deputies for their dedication, vigilance, and commitment to keeping our neighborhoods safe. lasdhq #proactive #goodwork #safe #SAO #southelmonte #illegalfirearm #arrest #trafficstop
