Last night I was on my way home from work about 8:30 when I got pulled over by an IMPD officer. I was at 38th and Pendleton Pike, which isnt the best part of town to start with. After I went through the intersection he put his lights on, so I turned my signal on and pulled into a CVS parking lot. I then proceded to shut my truck off, roll my window down, and then put my hands on my head (it was pretty dark and dont want any issues after the officer Moore incident).
About that time the officer put his spot light on me, and was sitting in his car longer than usual (I've been pulled over more than a few times). I then start hearing sirens from other cars and 2 more cars pull up in a big hurry and all 3 officers get out and come from all directions around my truck. I wasn't scared because I know I hadn't done anything but figured something was going on. The first officer then came to my window and first thing he said was thanks for putting my hands on my head where they could clearly see them. Then he asked me who the tuck belonged to and I informed him that it was mine but in my wifes name.
Next came the question I was waiting for. Do you have any weapons in the vehicle? I informed him that I did have a revolver sitting next to my right thigh between the seats. He then asked me to keep my hands up, step out of the truck, then put my hands on the bed of the truck for his and the other officers safety. I did what he asked of me and he secured the gun and then gave me a thorough pat down, and placed everything from my pockets and the firearm on the hood of my truck.
They then asked me for my license and registration which I gave them. One of the officers stood watch over me while one ran my license and registration, and the other ran the serial number on my gun. Everything came back clean (of course). When the other officers came back to my truck the one of them that had my gun opened the passenger door and placed the gun under the pasenger seat and asked me to leave it there until after I was out of their sight. The other officer then returned all the stuff from my pockets and whatnot.
They then informed me that they were on a call about a rolling disturbance that had happened a few miles away and that my truck matched the description of the suspect vehicle. I also had a white car in front of me at the light which was also the color of the second vehicle in the disturbance. If I understood right the man in the truck pulled his wife from her car and beat her at a stop light.
All in all the officers were as polite and cordial as could be expected in the given situation. I have no problems or complaints at all about the way they handled things. As they were telling me that I was free to go the first officer came up to me and said "Thank you for doing everything right".
Just a quick question for LEO. After they took my pistol, they never did ask me if I have a LTCH, which struck me as a little odd. My question is when you run a drivers license does it show that I have my LTCH or did they just assume?
