Officers told the man to drop the rifle who was then detained alongside the woman in the car.
The rifle was found to be a pellet-gun and the man said he wanted to "sight it in," according to ECPD.
Nothing else of note was found while searching the car.
Officers were given the pellet-gun and the two were admonished.
