LONGVIEW – A man Longview police says is a gang member has been arrested after a loaded gun was found in his car. Currently free on a $1,000 bond is Luis Carlos Retana, 18, of Longview.
His car was stopped in the 1800 block of Jane Street after a reported disturbance. After getting permission to search the vehicle, officers found a fully loaded .22 caliber revolver under the driver’s seat. Since he didn’t have a concealed handgun license and was a known gang member in possession of a gun, Retana was arrested. He was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon.
