The two passengers, however, were unable to produce any identification, though it was later discovered all three live in the area of Anderson, Ind.

A female in the vehicle was wanted on a warrant out of Anderson on an unspecified felony charge. Meanwhile, troopers located a loaded semi-automatic pistol in the vehicle and a computer check showed the gun was stolen out of Anderson.

All three subjects refused to give information about the stolen gun.

They were taken to the Branch County jail and charged with possession of stolen property.
