A man is facing felony charges after authorities found a gun and marijuana in his car during a traffic stop Friday, according to a press release.
Brian Diontae Darden, 17, of 803 Olivia Lane, is charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and resist, delay or obstruct.
The release said members of the Wayne County REACT Team stopped Darden on South Slocumb Street.
His car was then searched with a K-9 Unit and alerted to the presence of drugs, and officers found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a firearm, according to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.
Maj. Tom Effler with the sheriff's office said he did not know why Darden was pulled over or where the drugs were found inside the car.
Darden was put in the Wayne County Detention Center under a $25,000 secured bond.
