An Oliver Springs Police Department officer pulled over a pickup driven by Glen Long Jr. of Kingston for a broken taillight at around 3:30 pm Tuesday at the intersection of Winter Gap and Main Street. The officer reported that Long appeared to be very nervous while speaking with him and that he could smell the odor of freshly-smoked marijuana coming from the cab of the truck.
The officer also spotted in plain sight on the center console of the truck a marijuana pipe and pistol that turned out to be loaded with a round in the chamber. Long was detained and subsequent searches of him and his vehicle turned up over three grams of methamphetamine, nine Xanax pills, and 29 grams of marijuana.
In addition, in a duffle bag in the truck, officers found a total of four loaded pistols and one loaded rifle along with a knife and various calibers of ammunition. Long was arrested and charged with possession of three different drugs for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony.
He remained in custody at the Anderson County Jail on Friday morning without bond pending a hearing.
