A Hydro man with a former felony conviction was arrested recently after being found with a firearm during a traffic stop in Weatherford.
The suspect was also found to be in possession of controlled dangerous substances along with illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia.
According to court documents, 31-year-old Kasey Dale John was arrested on July 17 in the 700 block of Kee Street when the Weatherford Police Officer discovered a .22 rifle located behind the drivers seat of the vehicle along with hydrocodone, alprazolam, and marijuana. The officer would also find a glass pipe in the vehicle as well.
Due to being convicted of a grand larceny out of Caddo County, John was charged with one felony count of possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction in Custer County District Court on July 19. John also received three misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, an unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia charge, and driving with a canceled, suspended or revoked license.
A preliminary hearing conference for John has been scheduled for August 27.
