MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (7News) — Montgomery County Police Department said four people were arrested earlier this month after a traffic stop led to discoveries of active arrest warrants for the suspects and the recovery of a stolen semi-automatic rifle in Germantown.
On May 16, officers observed 28-year-old Humberto Guerra Jr. and his sister 29-year-old Maria Argueta of Silver Spring get into a vehicle at a 7-Eleven along with three other individuals.
Police said Guerra Jr. had two outstanding criminal warrants that stemmed from a Feb. 17 traffic stop and during that stop, police recovered an AR-15 they say was stolen in a burglary in Alexandria, Va. Maria Argueta also had an outstanding warrant for burglary from March 4, police said.

When officers spotted the siblings, they conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and police said they "provided officers with false identities in an effort to avoid prosecution." Officers also said they saw a semi-automatic pistol in plain view in the rear passenger seat.
During the traffic stop, police said 24-year-old Khyarah Hazel Taylor, of Gaithersburg, was sitting in the back seat next to Guerra Jr. and Argueta with the firearm and they discovered that the other passenger in the vehicle, 29-year-old Myles Bennette, of Baltimore, had an active warrant.
Both Guerra and Argueta were charged with providing false statements, possession of controlled dangerous substances, and firearm-related charges.
Taylor was subsequently arrested and charged with firearm-related charges and possession of controlled dangerous substances and Bennette was also arrested.
Police said all four were taken and held at the Central Processing Unit.
