During the stop, Jarnez was asked about any guns or drugs in the vehicle and, according to Harris, admitted there were both in the vehicle.
A pistol was located under the front passenger seat and another pistol and several grams of marijuana were located near the gear shift.
A criminal records check of Tony showed he is a convicted felon and not permitted to possess a firearm. A warrant check was conducted on both and Jarnez had an outstanding order for arrest for assault on a female.
Tony was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and carrying a concealed gun.
Jarnez Hill was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana up to one-half ounce, carrying a concealed gun and also served with the outstanding order for arrest.
Tony received a $9,500 secured bond and March 27 district court date.
