Nicholas Andrew Jones, 35 of Silver Creek, was arrested this week after reports said police found a gun and drugs during a traffic stop for not having a working tag light.
Police said that after stopping Jones on Blacks Bluff Road a K9 officer alerted on the vehicle.
A search of the car led officers to find Vyvanse, Alprazolam, a marijuana pipe and a .45 caliber handgun. Jones is a convicted felon and thus not allowed to possess a firearm.
Jones is charged with possession of a schedule III controlled substance, possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, drugs not in original container, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of drug related objects and no tag light.
