NEW ORLEANS – NOPD officers on patrol along Magazine Street arrested two men and a juvenile for illegally carrying guns, including a handgun that had been reported stolen.
Officers on patrol on September 23 spotted a man standing outside a store in the 1900 block of Magazine Street that appeared to have a gun concealed in his waistband, according to the NOPD.

After stopping Hollerman, officers recovered a Glock handgun, according to the NOPD.
While still working in the area, officers spotted a 16-year-old juvenile, who was carrying a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun that had been reported stolen in Jefferson Parish.
