Arrest made for illegal possession of firearms

Lawrenceburg Now

Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department officials reported Friday that a local man was arrested for illegal possession of firearms earlier in the week.

Information released through the department shows that deputies accompanied agents with State Probation and Parole to the 103 Big Springs Fork home of James Alexander Christian, age 26, on Monday.

Although they were unable to make contact with anyone at the home, reports show that deputies noticed numerous firearms lying in plain view on the seat and floorboard of a truck in the driveway.

A check of the license plate revealed that the truck was registered to Christian. Because he is a convicted felon, Christian is prohibited from possessing firearms.

All of the weapons were seized, including a Remington 870 12 gauge, Mossberg 500 12 gauge, Remington 770 .243, Remington 597 .22LR, Charter Arms 38 special, Springfield XD 9mm, and a Hi Point JHP 45ACP.

Deputies issued warrants against Christian charging him with unlawful possession of firearms, then returned to his home the following day. They were able to make contact with him quickly and serve the warrants, taking him into custody.

Deputies had again accompanied state probation officers and had brought along a K-9 officer, as well. They report that Christian’s home was searched subsequent to his arrest. The K-9 officer located a bag and grinder in the oven.

The bag contained 11.5 grams of marijuana individually packaged for distribution along with three sets of digital scales, three electric Vape sticks, a container of marijuana seeds, and Ziplock bags.

The drugs and paraphernalia were seized along with $527 in cash believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales and an iPhone 6.

Christian was transported to the Lawrence County Detention Center where he was booked on the original firearms charges as well as charges of possession of Schedule VI narcotics for the purpose of resale and possession of drug paraphernalia. Officials indicate that Christian will face charges of violation of probation, as well.

Christian was incarcerated under a $71,000 bond.

Sheriff’s department officials encourage those with knowledge of any type of illegal activity to contact the department at 762-3626.
