A police officer approached the vehicle because the front passenger’s door was open, and given the recent burglaries in the Lago Vista neighborhood, the officer wanted to “make sure all was well," the affidavit states.
The officer requested backup after Reyes became “fidgety," police said. They were asked to step out of the vehicle when Alonzo, who was in the driver’s seat, reached for something between his legs.
The affidavit states police then found a loaded gun on the floorboard.
Alonzo was placed under arrest on an active warrant.
