SEWARD, Neb. -- A California man was arrested in Seward after a traffic stop for weapon related charges. 

Seward County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested 31-year-old Demitris Bow and found nine handguns as well as suspected drug money. 

Authorities said that on Thursday, Aug. 25, around 2:30 p.m. they conducted a traffic stop on a Nissan Altima, driven by Bow, after observing a vehicle and traffic violation on Interstate 80 near mile marker 375 westbound. 

It was reported that during the traffic stop, the deputy became increasingly suspicious that Bow was involved in criminal activity. 

The Sheriff's Office said that because reasonable suspicion of criminal activity was developed, the deputy deployed his K9. 

According to officials, the K9 alerted the deputy to the odor of a controlled substance coming from inside the vehicle. 

The Sheriff's Office reported that a subsequent probable cause search of the vehicle revealed nine handguns and several magazines. 

Two of the handguns was confirmed to be stolen, and the search also uncovered $19,660 in what is believed to be drug profits, according the Sheriff's Office. 

Bow was arrested for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of a stolen firearm, and possession of U.S. drug currency. 

Bow was lodged in the Seward County Detention Center.
