On June 21, 2012, at approximately 12:30 a.m., Ocean City Police were conducting traffic enforcement on Coastal Highway when they observed the driver of a black Honda driving without wearing his seatbelt. Officers stopped the vehicle in the area of 46th Street and Coastal Highway.
During the traffic stop, officers learned that the passenger of the car, who was later identified as Nicholas Lane Percoskie, 23, of Herndon, PA, had a handgun in the vehicle. The .22 caliber handgun, which was found underneath the front passenger seat, was recovered by officers.
Parcoskie was arrested and charged with possession of a handgun and possession a handgun in a vehicle. After an initial appearance by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner, Parcoskie was released on his own personal recognizance.

I was unaware that OCPD had superpowers. They must have if they could see inside a car at midnight.
Anon 2:58 Why don't you call those three guys and let them ride around your neighborhood smoking pot in the middle of the night with a .22 under the seat. Whose side are you on? These three (obviously) and the idiot commissioner who let the gun guy go on his own recognizance? What an unbelievable bunch.
4:40 who said they were smoking pot?
Something fishy in O.C.
Commissioners do not let people go on personal recognizance on a gun charge.
How did they "learn" he had a gun?
Illegal search and seizure thats how.
