The deputy reportedly found a handgun in Carmona’s belt in addition to a magazine and attached holster. He also allegedly found a glass pipe commonly used for smoking methamphetamine.
Based on these findings, the deputy detained Carmona and went to search inside of his camper. There, the deputy found a 1911 semi-automatic pistol, valued at nearly $4,000, and a bag containing suspected methamphetamine.
The pistol, determined to be stolen, was a limited-edition tribute to US Navy Seal Sniper Chris Kyle. The pistol was loaded with four rounds of .45 caliber ammunition and there was one bullet in the chamber.
