A Pine Bluff man was arrested Tuesday following a traffic stop after a gun that had been reported stolen was found in his vehicle.
Marcus Johnson Richardson, 27, was taken into custody after Tri-County Drug Task Force Investigator Joseph O’Neal stopped a white Chrysler driven by Richardson for speeding.
Deputy Prosecutor Beth Carson told a court hearing Thursday about the circumstances of the arrest.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set a $15,000 bond for Richardson after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge him with theft by receiving a firearm.
Richardson said he would hire his own attorney.
