A 23-year-old Racine woman went to purchase a gun at Shooters Sports Center, 4900 6 Mile Road, but she had warrants out for her arrest because she hadn’t paid her traffic tickets to the Village of Mount Pleasant.

When an employee at Shooters ran a criminal background check on her, the warrants came up and they called officers with the Caledonia Police Department. However, she was able to post the $538.50 bond and was not detained.
