On Sunday night Coffee County Deputy Lee Marcom responded to Interstate 24 concerning a road rage incident with a subject with a gun. The deputy pulled over Randy Leslie Williams Jr age 25 of Chattanooga in a vehicle that matched the description of both vehicle and subject that was given out by the Coffee County Communications Center. After making the traffic stop, the officer noted a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. After getting Williams out of the car, an assisting Tennessee Highway Patrolman observed a handgun beside the driver’s seat. The gun was a fully loaded .357 magnum Wesson revolver. The deputy searched the vehicle in the trunk and located behind the spare hole, a box containing allegedly one half a pound of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana, a set of scales, cash and several small sandwich bags.
Williams was charged with Manufacturing/delivering/selling/possession of a controlled substance, illegal possession of a weapon and unlawful paraphernalia uses and activities. Bond was set at $16,500 and he’ll appear in Coffee County Court July, 11, 2016.
