21-year-old Nicholas Thompson rode as a passenger in a vehicle that crashed near Korean Veterans Boulevard and 1st Avenue South on June 10th. After the crash, Thompson and the other occupants exited the car. Officers observed this and approached them, during which they noticed the vehicle reeked of marijuana. Officers then discovered the driver had an outstanding warrant. Officers searched the car and found a backpack in the back left passenger seat, where Thompson was sitting. The backpack contained a fully loaded semi-auto Glock 17. Officers also found several bags of marijuana throughout the car. Under Miranda, Thompson admitted to smoking marijuana about an hour before the crash and claimed the backpack was his. Thompson was then cited for the occurrence that day. Thompson was later booked on the citation of weapon possession while under the influence on July 5th.
