Prosecutors today charged a 21-year-old Waimanalo man with a firearm offense.

John Christian Veikoso is being held in lieu of $11,000 bail after police allegedly found an unloaded pistol in the trunk of his vehicle. Veikoso also has an outstanding $750 warrant.

Police stopped Veikoso's vehicle at Ala Moana Center yesterday at 1 a.m. after a witness reported seeing him and another man, 23, handling a gun. Police found the pistol after allegedly receiving consent from Veikoso to search the vehicle.
