After a Lilburn police officer stopped a driver to ask for help, he found two stolen guns, hundreds of pills and a large quantity of other drugs, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Albert Ross Simmons, 28, has been charged with eight felony drug offenses, two misdemeanor theft by receiving charges and one count of possessing a weapon during the commission of a felony.

Officer Almedin Ajanovic was patroling a Lilburn neighborhood where multiple car break-ins had recently occurred when he saw a man in a truck idling outside a house.

When the driver rolled down the window, Ajanovic smelled the pungent odor of marijuana, he told Channel 2.
