26 year-old Karl Heusner Jr., who is no stranger to the police, is at prison tonight after he was busted with an unlicensed firearm and a bag of marijuana.

According to police, on Saturday at around 10 p.m. they were on mobile patrol when they saw Heusner at the corner of Wagner's Lane and Simmon's Alley.

The officers said that he was acting suspicious because he had one hand in his back pocket and the other on the front of his shirt.

As a result, when he entered a yard, one of the officers chased after him, and grabbed him on the arm. Immediately, a bag of suspected marijuana fell out of his shirt, and when the officer searched him, he found a chrome and black .38 revolver with the serial number filed off. The gun was also loaded with 5 live rounds of .38 ammunition.

Police charged him with keeping an unlicensed firearm, keeping unlicensed ammunition, and drug trafficking after it was discovered that the bag contained 113 grams of marijuana.

In court, Heusner pleaded not guilty to the charges, but because the nature of the offense, Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer could not grant him bail. He was remanded until July 30, after he asked for 2 months before he is brought back before the court.
