Allegheny County sheriff’s deputies confiscated drugs, money and a stolen gun during a traffic stop Saturday afternoon on Pittsburgh’s South Side.
They arrested Glen Cleveland, 22, of Carrick after witnessing a suspected drug deal shortly before 1 p.m. at a gas station at East Carson and 10th streets.
Cleveland drove away but the deputies pulled him over a short distance away. When they started to pat Cleveland down, he reached for his waistband, where they found a loaded handgun, according to a criminal complaint.
Cleveland had a revoked permit to carry a concealed gun, according to authorities. The firearm was reported stolen out of Monongahela.
Inside the vehicle, deputies found a marijuana cigar, 40 stamp bags of suspected heroin, hydrocodone pills and $1,230, the complaint said.
The sheriff’s office charged Cleveland with drug and gun offenses as well as receiving stolen property.
In October, Pittsburgh police charged Cleveland with aggravated assault, carrying a gun without a license, terroristic threats and vehicle code infractions.
Court records show that Cleveland was released on non-monetary bail and faces a preliminary hearing next month.
A copy of the charging documents in that case was not available Saturday night from City Court.
Cleveland is in the Allegheny County Jail awaiting arraignment on the latest charges.
