--Michael J. Coleman, 33, West Park Avenue, Gray, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, driving under a suspended driver’s license and driving on a roadway laned for traffic.
The charges following a traffic stop on La. 308 south of Napoleonville on Thursday evening.
A uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, now identified as Coleman, and engaged Coleman in an interview. During the investigative stop, the deputy determined that Coleman was driving under a suspended driver’s license.
Due to conditions observed during the stop, the deputy requested and was granted consent to search. As a result of that search, a 9mm handgun was located and seized. It was determined that Coleman was a prior convicted felon and therefore could not legally possess a firearm.
Coleman was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. He posted a $50,000 a commercial bond.
