According to court documents, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) conducted a traffic stop on March 16 at 2 a.m. for a vehicle parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant on 7th Street NW.
Court documents allege the three men were found sitting in the car with open containers of alcohol and multiple firearms.
Police then detained the three men and seized a handgun from Hillard's seat, a loaded firearm in Colliuer's waistband, and a loaded modified firearm that converts it to fully automatic belonging to Green.
All of the firearms were allegedly found loaded with the rounds chambered and are assumed to be from other states.
Court documents add that the modified firearm belonging to Green was reported stolen from Georgia. Police noted that Green did not possess a license to carry a firearm in D.C.
The incident remains under investigation by MPD and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
