The woman, 23-year-old Brooke Harman, was reportedly a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a cell phone violation. In a search of the car, sheriff's officials say deputies found three guns.

The sheriff's office says that later that same day, 37-year-old Juan Wolfe was stopped and a loaded handgun was found in his car.
