NEW ROCHELLE, NY — An early Saturday morning traffic stop led to an arrest on multiple gun and drunken driving charges, New Rochelle police said. After New Rochelle police officers spotted a vehicle driving erratically just before 7 a.m., they soon discovered the resulting traffic stop at North Avenue and Huguenot Street would not be a typical DWI arrest. In addition to being intoxicated, the driver, Haji Jacobs of New Castle, Pennsylvania, also had illegal weapons in the car, officers said. The 29-year-old reportedly had a .40 Glock handgun magazine on his person. A search of his vehicle yielded a .40 Glock handgun and two illegally possessed 15-round magazines, according to a police report. Jacobs was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device and DWI.
