A traffic stop Wednesday night in Adams County resulted in the arrest of a man from Union County on weapons-related charges. The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says deputies pulled over a vehicle near the intersection of Corning Carl Road and Nodaway River Road, at around 10:30-p.m. The driver of the vehicle was transported by ambulance to the hospital for a medical emergency not related to the traffic stop.

A passenger in the vehicle, 26-year old Joshua Lee Jones, of Creston, informed deputies there was a gun in the vehicle, under his seat. Jones admitted that he was a convicted felon, and was aware he was not supposed to be around firearms. Deputies located the loaded firearm, as well as dozens of rounds of ammunition, and brass knuckles.

Jones was arrested on felony charges that include Dominion and Control of a Firearm by a Felon, Dominion and Control of an Offensive Weapon by a Felon, and D-and-C of Ammunition, by a Felon. His cash only bond at the Adams County Jail was set at $15,000. Charges are pending against the driver of the vehicle, who was not named in the report.
