A local man was arrested on multiple requested charges, including criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, after a traffic stop late Friday afternoon in central Salina.
An officer on patrol saw Logan Bell, 31, of Salina, driving a black Ford Taurus near the intersection of S. Ninth Street and W. Republic Avenue shortly before 5:30 p.m. Friday. When the officer checked Bell's driver's license status, it was found that the license was suspended, so the officer conducted a traffic stop in the 800 block of S.

A K-9 was brought in to do a sniff around the car.
During a search of the car, a Glock 19 handgun was found under the child carrier, Forrester said. Bell is on federal probation for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Forrester explained.
Bell was arrested on the following requested charges, Forrester said.
