**Bensalem, PA** – A Bensalem Township Police Officer pulled over a dark-colored Mazda on Saturday after noticing heavily tinted windows and a traffic violation on Hulmeville Road. The vehicle was stopped on Park Avenue due to the violation, which nearly resulted in an accident.

The vehicle was impounded, and a search warranted recovery of an AR-15 style rifle, loaded magazines, shotgun ammunition, a balaclava mask, gloves, a duct-taped hooded sweatshirt, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Miles faces several charges, including felony firearm possession, and is held in Bucks County on $30,000 bail.
