During the investigation into the stop, Mr. Massey became non-compliant with requests by detectives for him to step out of the vehicle.
At one point Mr. Massey was observed reaching toward the underneath of the driver’s seat, which resulted in a taser being deployed by one of the Pittsburg Detectives. Mr. Massey was quickly placed under arrest after the taser deployment.
A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of a loaded Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun under the driver’s seat of the vehicle, as well as 155 grams of methamphetamine (packaged for distribution), 28 grams of cocaine (packaged for distribution), 9 grams of marijuana (packaged for distribution), and 3 grams of heroin.
