The grand jury also indicted Brandon Reid, 23, South Pearl Street, on improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle and possession of drugs.

Reports said a van Reid was driving was pulled over on Apr. 17 in a parking lot in the 800 block of Oak Street on the East Side after an officer spotted him driving too fast.

A police dog from Poland detected drugs in the car, and officers found a 9 mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun and a clip of ammunition under the front passenger’s seat. Reports said Reid told police the gun was his and he forgot it was in the van.
