Florida authorities arrested a 19-year-old man after allegedly discovering a P90 machine gun wrapped in a towel directly beneath an 11-month-old child seated in a car seat.
Angel Cruz Garcia was charged with possession of a concealed firearm by a juvenile delinquent and possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis, the Orlando Police Department announced.
Police identified the weapon as a black FN Herstal P90, which the company describes as “a compact, lightweight weapon with a magazine capacity of 50 cartridges.” Body camera footage appeared to show the firearm covered by a beach towel and positioned immediately below the child’s seat.

Police have not disclosed Garcia’s relationship to the child.
