U.S. Marshals arrested 32-year-old Kevon Tucker in Antioch on Tuesday. Tucker is a convicted felon wanted by the Mississippi authorities on various drug and firearm charges. He was found by investigators outside a residence on Arbor Knoll Boulevard on November 5.
According to the reports, Tucker started running on foot as the officers advanced, armed with a loaded handgun and holding a red bag. Tucker discarded the handgun in some nearby bushes during the rush and dropped the bag. The authorities retrieved the handgun and the bag right away.
The contents of the bag were investigated by the officials. 70 grams of marijuana, 8.2 grams of cocaine, and some oxycodone pills were discovered in it. Further investigation discovered $750 in cash on Tucker.
Court documents indicate Tucker is being charged for actions related to a raid last September at his residence in Clay County, Mississippi.
According to WCBI, the raid seized large amounts of illegal drugs, including seven and a half pounds of cocaine worth $250,000, a pound of marijuana, crack cocaine, fentanyl, and several guns.
With a 2013 felony conviction in Mississippi, Tucker is now behind new charges and held under $167,000 in Metro jail.
