On July 16, 2025, at 7:03 pm, a Nazareth Borough Police Department officer initiated a traffic stop on a black Lexus IS 250 with an expired Ohio registration. The vehicle's owner, who lacked a valid license to carry a firearm or medical marijuana card, was found in possession of a firearm and controlled substances. The individual was removed from the vehicle, and further investigation revealed indications of additional firearms and controlled substances. The suspect was taken into custody for the firearm and recovered controlled substances, and the vehicle was towed from the scene. A search warrant was later obtained, leading to the recovery of three more firearms and controlled substances. The suspect was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Sandra McClure and committed to Northampton County Prison on $35,000 bail
