A taxi passenger was arrested early Tuesday morning when nearby police spotted a partially-concealed firearm and stopped the cab.
The incident, in the 400 block of Maryland Street, resulted in the discovery of a loaded and improvised .22 calibre firearm.
Police say a further search of the man turned up around $1,280 in cocaine and two rounds of .22 calibre ammunition.
