A Grand Traverse County Sheriff's deputy parked at Logan’s Landing late Sunday night watched a pickup truck slow down on South Airport Road as three gunshots rang out from the vehicle.

The people in the car apparently had not notice the patrol car and the shots were not aimed at police, deputies say. The deputy followed the pickup and made a “high risk” traffic stop at the Shell gas station at Lafranier and South Airport roads at 11:30pm. Three men who had been drinking were detained and three semiautomatic handguns and spent shell casings were found in the pickup.

The driver, a 31-year-old Louisiana man, was arrested for drunk driving. The rear-seat passenger, a 21-year-old Alabama man, was arrested for possession of a firearm while intoxicated and reckless discharge of a firearm. A third passenger, a 24-year-old Alabama man, had a concealed weapons permit and was cited for violating the permit.
