Traffic stop leads to gun, drug arrest

A Jacksonville man who was on probation faces felony gun and drug charges after police arrested him Thursday evening after a traffic stop, according to an arrest report.

Police around 10:40 p.m. pulled over a vehicle driven by Calvin Thomas, 25, because it had a headlight out and Thomas had been running stop signs, the report says. It says the officer smelled marijuana in the vehicle, and Thomas told the officer he had some.

A search of the vehicle found a loaded Glock pistol with an extended magazine, packages of suspected marijuana labeled THC and a bottle of Promethazine, the report said.

Thomas, who was on probation, was arrested on four felony charges — simultaneous possession of drugs and a gun, possession of a firearm by a certain person and two drug possession counts.
