NOLENSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Nashville man is facing multiple charges after he reportedly left his driver’s license behind while running away from a Nolensville traffic stop.
The Nolensville Police Department said a sergeant stopped a car on Nolensville Road around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 for speeding.
The officer noticed a Glock pistol in the seat by the front passenger, as well as “other indicators of possible criminal activity,” so the officer called for backup and had all three occupants step out of the car, according to officials.
While searching the vehicle, authorities said they found a second pistol under the driver’s seat, along with marijuana, pills that were believed to be Xanax, and materials used for packaging the items for resale.
“We guess this is where the driver identified as Ochon Alfred Olweny Abdu, decided he needed to make a quick exit,” the department wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday, March 27. “Abdu ran from the scene into the darkness.”
Rather than chase after Abdu on foot, police said the two officers stayed with the two passengers and the unsecured handguns, adding that, “in his haste to depart our company he apparently forgot we had his driver’s license.”
Officials said they issued warrants for the 23-year-old Nashville man, charging him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony; possession of drug paraphernalia; manufacture, sale, and distribution of Schedule IV and Schedule VI controlled substances; evading on foot; and speeding.
“He will see us again,” Nolensville authorities stated in Wednesday’s post.
Meanwhile, the remaining two occupants were released without being charged, according to police.
