Richard Whyte, 56, was stopped by police on Rt. 1. In a report, a Westerly officer stated that he detected the strong odor of marijuana, and determined that Whyte s license and registration from Connecticut had expired. The officer said Whyte voluntarily relinquished a Kimber 9 KHX handgun with a bullet in the chamber and a full magazine. He added that the hammer was cocked back, that the gun was tucked into the man s pants, and that there was no holster.
