Police said they arrived about 12:40 a.m. at a home in response to an argument call and were told by a woman at the home that she had been arguing with her boyfriend, who left before police arrived.

The boyfriend returned to the home while police were still there and gave the girlfriend permission to leave in his car. When the girlfriend failed to drive away after several minutes, police went to check on her.

She told the officers the seat in her boyfriend's car was too far away for her to reach the pedals, and that she was unsure how to adjust the seat.

One of the police officers went to the car to try to help the woman adjust the seat, and while looking for the adjustment lever, found a revolver on the floor in front of the driver's seat.

Police determined the gun had been placed in the car by the woman's boyfriend and he was arrested for suspicion of failing to properly store a firearm.
