Ulises Rico/Mexico/Carrying Concealed Weapon

Mexican national Ulises Rico was arrested in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on a carrying concealed weapon charge after officers encountered him with a pistol that was not lawfully licensed or openly carried under Michigan law. State firearms rules require most handgun owners to obtain a concealed pistol license before hiding a loaded weapon on their person or in a vehicle, and violations can be prosecuted as a felony. During the Grand Rapids encounter, officers determined that Rico lacked the required permit and that the weapon was concealed, leading to his arrest on the weapons offense.

Following his arrest in Grand Rapids, Rico was booked into local custody while prosecutors review the case and consider potential felony charges tied to the concealed pistol. If convicted, he faces possible jail or prison time, fines, firearm forfeiture, and as a Mexican national, immigration consequences once criminal proceedings conclude.
