Alexandria Police officers have arrested a man who they say not only had drugs packaged for sale in his vehicle with his 6-year-old son, but also hid a loaded gun underneath the boy.

The suspect is Brandon Dale Allen, 26, of 6008 Sabina Drive, Alexandria. He faces numerous charges, including child endangerment, after a .45-caliber handgun was found under the boy, police reported.

Alexandria Police’s Narcotics Supervisor Sgt. Newmon Bobb said agents received a tip that Allen was delivering cocaine, marijuana and prescription pills to several locations in the city. Narcotics agents stopped a vehicle driven by Allen on Tuesday afternoon at the corner of Chester and Jackson streets.
