According to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, on March 16th a Chillicothe Police Officer was on patrol when he saw a Cadillac in a traffic violation.
The driver, 59-year-old Allen Hill of Whitehall near Columbus, was found to have a suspended operators licence.
A police dog alerted to the car, but instead of drugs, a loaded five-shot revolver with the serial number ground off was found under the center console. That led to indictments of improper handling of a firearm, and defacing its identification marks.
Together they could net up to two years and $6,000 of fines.
