BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A post on Baltimore Police's social media has gone viral after they arrested a man with a unique-looking handgun during a traffic stop.

Police say this past Wednesday, March 1, 2017, officers pulled over a car at the 700 block of N. Rose Street. Police say during the traffic stop, officers recovered a loaded handgun and drugs from inside the vehicle. Investigators arrested 36-year-old Keith Gladden and took him to Central Booking and Intake Facility.
