According to the arrest report, when police found Howlett at Sunset Station, she was sitting on a pistol and had a machine gun in the back seat. Another 20 firearms were recovered from the trunk of the Subaru WRX that police say belonged to Howlett's wife.
Howlett's wife is the one who alerted police to the situation on Saturday, telling them Howlett had taken her car, with the firearms inside. She was concerned, she told officers, because of previous threats Howlett had made to commit a mass shooting.
