Police Stop Over a Car’s Expired Tags Led to a Surprise Discovery of Whiskey, Gun, Stolen Vehicle, and Rattlesnake. Oh, and Some Uranium

On June 26 in Guthrie, Oklahoma, police officers pulled over a car when they noticed that the car tags were expired. The driver caught was Stephen Jennings. The man’s passenger, Rachael Rivera, was charged with possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction. 

The police searched the car and got more than what they bargained for: 

"So now he's got a rattlesnake, a stolen vehicle, firearm and somebody under arrest," Guthrie Police Sgt. Anthony Gibbs told CNN affiliate KFOR.
Then they found one more thing: a canister of radioactive powdered uranium.
"When that happens, of course, we call in a company that deals with that specifically, and it's taken safely into possession," Gibbs said. "The uranium is the wild card in that situation.
