Zach was stopped around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night at a roadblock the police had established on a city street to check for drivers who were under the influence of alcohol. As Officer Williams approached Zach's car she used her flashlight to look into the car and observed what appeared to be a machinegun on the back seat.
