During his investigation, a probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted, and suspected marijuana, along with numerous firearms, were located inside the vehicle.
A passenger in the vehicle, 21-year-old Sincier S. Hutchins of Fort Wayne, had a stolen firearm that had been altered with a device commonly referred to as a "Glock Switch".
