A Seymour man is arrested for fentanyl and firearm possession.

31 year-old Deonte Brown was stopped by police on Chapman Highway because he was not staying in his lane while driving.

The K9 unit alerted there were drugs in the car. Police found the fentanyl, almost $1,500 in cash and a loaded handgun with a modified switch that allowed the gun to be fired as an automatic gun.

Brown was taken into custody after trying to run away and is charged with escape, possession of a firearm, drug and other charges.
