While driving his mother to a doctor's appointment, a man noticed that a blue Hyundai was tailing him on Tuesday, May 12, near mile marker 279 of Interstate 95, in Palm Coast. As he let the Hyundai pass, someone pointed a "large black rifle" at the man and his mother. The man called 9-1-1, and later a traffic stop at Exit 289 by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office resulted in the arrest of the Hyundai driver and passenger.
“I’m glad a caller alerted us to their dangerous activity," Sheriff Rick Staly said.
The Hyundai driver was identified as 26-year-old Kelvisha Renarda Johnson and the passenger as 24-year-old Ruvon Anthony Washington, both of Jacksonville.
During the traffic stop, the FCSO reported, a black Pioneer Arms Hellpup firearm "with a loaded magazine of 7.62 caliber ammunition beside it could be seen in plain view in the backseat. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed two plastic baggies and a prescription bottle containing a white powdery crystal-like substance, a digital scale, a burnt marijuana 'roach,' three loaded magazines for the rifle, a Keltec handgun, and a loaded Ruger handgun."
Both Johnson and Washington were arrested on drug and weapon charges.
