Kennewick car prowl suspect had heroin, Airsoft pistols

A Benton City man arrested on several warrants Monday also had heroin and two real-looking Airsoft guns, said Kennewick police.

Officers were called about 3:20 a.m. for a reported vehicle prowler near Morain Street and West Kennewick Avenue. They ended up arresting Britt Christopher Samsel, 26.

Samsel reportedly had heroin, drug paraphernalia and two Airsoft pistols that looked like real guns, police said. Airsoft guns fire pellets rather than bullets.

He was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of assault, heroin possession and an outstanding warrant.
