On April 13th, 18-year-old Jaisaun Ousley was caught in a vehicle with a firearm and marijuana after speeding near I-24. Officers noticed a vehicle speeding and initiated a traffic stop. When officers made contact with the four occupants, they asked if there was any marijuana in the vehicle. All four occupants of the car became nervous. The driver handed Officers a gram of marijuana. Ousley, in the rear passenger seat, claimed that they were about to smoke. Officers then asked everyone to step out of the vehicle. As Ousley was getting frisked, he admitted that he was in possession of a firearm inside his waistband. Officers removed Ousley’s firearm and searched the vehicle. During their search, officers found 101.35 grams of marijuana, a Glock 19 separate from Ousley’s firearm, sandwich bags, and a scale. Reggie Lyle, another occupant of the car, admitted to the Glock 19 and marijuana. Ousley was taken into custody for possession of a firearm.
