Deputies reportedly contacted and escorted him to his truck, where his juvenile son was reported to be waiting. The son appeared to be upset. Deputies reported seeing an open container of alcohol in the console. A closer inspection peering into the driver’s side of the pickup revealed a clear bag containing a suspected controlled substance. Further search reportedly revealed a .22-caliber revolver inside a storage compartment under the console.
