ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 63-year-old Orlando man who was arrested Saturday had a gun on him when he was taken to the Orange County Jail, according to records obtained by 9 Investigates.
A body scanner alerted officials to the gun in the pant leg of Tomas Mosely, a convicted felon, an arrest report said.
Mosely had drugs and guns on him when he was stopped by deputies Jacob Starne and Wes Avant near North Powers Drive, the report said.

9 Investigates asked jail officials how long it took for authorities to discover the gun.
The jail responded by explaining its protocol:
"The first thing new arrestees do when being escorted by officers into the jail is go through the X-ray security full-body scanner."
The Orange County Sheriff's Office provided 9 Investigates with the following statement:
"As you know, the details of internal investigations are not public until those investigations are closed. But we can confirm there was an incident at the jail and that the incident, involving Deputy Starnes, is under investigation."
It is unclear if the gun was loaded.
