A search of the vehicle then led police to find a loaded Highpoint 9mm handgun with its serial number removed as well as marijuna
Officers then discovered that Chambers is a convicted felon, thus not allowed to have a gun in his possession.
Chambers is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm while committing a crime, criminal use of altering an Id mark, possession of marijuana, obstruction, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, driving without license, failure to dim lights, failure to maintain lane and reckless driving.
