Novato Police arrested a Fairfield man and a Vallejo woman on suspicion of a host of charges Tuesday after they found a loaded assault weapon in their car on Galli Drive in Bel Marin Keys.

According to Howard, 22-year-old Blake David-Murry and 18-year-old Monica Torres-Mendozan came to Bel Marin Keys Tuesday afternoon to retrieve the gun. Novato police contacted them on Galli Drive and found a loaded assault pistol in their car.

Davis-Murry and Torres-Mendoza were booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of possessing an assault weapon, carrying a loaded gun in public and carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle. Police tacked on allegations of drug possession and driving under the influence for Murry

Howard noted that "further charges are anticipated."
