On December 29, 2016 at approximately 8:55 a.m. Deputy R.A. Weatherholtz was on patrol along U.S. Route 1 near Bells Hill Road. He observed a gray Pontiac Grand Prix with what appeared to be a fictitious Virginia inspection sticker. He witnessed the grey vehicle pull into the nearby 7-Eleven. The deputy ran the tag displayed on the Pontiac through DMV and it returned to a 2013 black Dodge. Deputy Weatherholtz approached the driver in the parking lot. He was identified as Louis Hunter.
Mr. Hunter advised that he did not have a valid driver’s license and that there was a .45 caliber handgun in a backpack on the backseat of his vehicle. He further stated he took the license plates from a Dodge he previously owned and placed them on the Grand Prix.
The handgun with bullets in the magazine was recovered from the backpack and retained as evidence.
Louis Albert Hunter, age 36 of Pepper Tree Lane, was charged with Driving with a Suspended License, Carrying a Concealed Weapon without a Permit, Failure to Obtain Vehicle Registration/Title and Improper Registration. He was released on summonses.
