The manager told police that Sistrunk mentioned he had a gun and then overheard his friend tell him, “Just go put it in the car.”
Court documents say when police searched Sistrunk, they found a white chalky powder in his pant pocket that officers believed was cocaine, and the black Glock 23 Gen 4 40 cal pistol, which had modifications done to it.
Police found a small device attached to it, which is commonly used to illegally convert a semi-automatic pistol into a machine gun.
The substance later tested positive for cocaine and had a net weight of 0.6 grams.
Sistrunk was taken to the Travis County jail and charged with places weapons are prohibited, possession of a prohibited weapon, and POCS.
