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.
