During the early morning hours of Sunday, May 30, 2026, DS B. Clevenger conducted a traffic stop on a 2009 silver pickup truck in the 4800 block of SW Archer Rd for a traffic infraction. 
ย 
When making contact with the driver, 38-year-old Carlos Gonzalez, DS Clevenger observed Gonzalez to display numerous nervous indicators. Gonzalez also gave law enforcement consent to search his vehicle. 
ย 
The search of the truck revealed 10.8 grams of methamphetamine, 94 Suboxone tables, 15 Suboxone strips, Xanax, a loaded semi-automatic handgun, 110 rounds of ammunition, and a large sum of counterfeit currency and forged bank notes. The gun, ammo, and counterfeit currency were all concealed and stored in a manner intended to avoid detection by deputies.
ย 
A query of Gonzalez revealed he is an eight-time convicted felon.
ย 
Gonzalez was arrested and charged with three counts of Possession of a Firearm or Ammo by a Convicted Felon, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance Without a Prescription, Possession of Forged or Counterfeit Bank Notes (10 or more), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
