An officer conducted a traffic stop in the 3000 block of S. Douglas Road in Miramar where McNeill surrendered, police said.

McNeill was found to be carrying a modified 9mm Polymer P80 pistol that has no serial number because it is basically a Glock handgun that is assembled from parts, the report stated.

There were 27 bullets in the magazine which is the reason for all the charges for the suspect who was a convicted felon as a juvenile, records show.

McNeill is charged with grand theft auto, burglary, and possession of a weapon and ammunition by a convicted juvenile felon.

He remains in the Broward County Jail on bonds totaling $8,500.
