Suspect arrested after firearms found in vehicle during traffic stop

Abraham Roman, 25, of Charlotte, was arrested by Troutman police last Friday (August 16). He is charged with two counts of possession of a stolen firearm, three counts of carrying a concealed weapon, and one count each of possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

On Friday at around 9:35 p.m., officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle at the intersection of Perth Road and State Park Road. During a conversation with the driver, Abraham Roman, officers had sufficient suspicion to search the vehicle.
