An armed 22-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night after police stopped him for tailgating another vehicle on East Speedway Boulevard.
Police are seeking charges of a prior weapons misconduct warrant, driving on a suspended license and following too close against Harlan Carroll, of the 1400 block of East Fort Lowell Road.
Police reportedly noticed a handgun near Carroll in his truck. Police stopped Carroll in a parking lot south of Speedway. Both officers then trained their guns on Carroll who exited the truck upon request.
Carroll reportedly moved around nervously in the truck while police checked on his driver's license, which alerted police to the gun.
