The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office reported the following, according to Lieutenant Shane Guyant:

On Saturday shortly before 10:30 a.m. Corporal C. Sherrod observed the driver of a Lexus run a stop sign at Highway 561 and Drapers Road outside Enfield.

While speaking with the driver, Jaquan Tyrell Simmons, Sherrod observed Simmons and a female passenger acting nervous and being “extremely evasive,” Guyant said.

Sherrod learned there was marijuana and a gun hidden in the car. The deputy also learned that Simmons, 26, of Enfield, was driving on a revoked license.

A probable cause search revealed a 9mm Smith & Wesson pistol in the glove box, which was reported stolen from Davidson County.

A Mason jar containing marijuana and other paraphernalia was found hidden in a black bag in the trunk.
